Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) aims to meet the elevating global food demand during this time of immense climate variability. It is also considered an effective strategy in attaining the Sustainable Development Goals 2 and 13, and thus, securing a better future. The study offers an in-depth analysis of Kenya's efforts to address Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 2, which focuses on "Zero Hunger" by integrating CSA practices. The research employed a desktop research methodology that examined various academic literature, government reports, and international organization publications. The aim was to analyze the approach by farmers in Kenya in integrating CSA techniques into the agricultural systems. According to the research findings, in their commitment to achieve SDG 2, farmers in Kenya have integrated a multifaceted approach that includes the implementation of initiatives, and innovative farming practices aimed at promoting CSA. However, there are significant challenges that have been encountered in adopting and scaling up of CSA practices. The challenges include limited access to resources and technology as well as institutional and policy constraints. Interesting aspects that require further research based on the information from various sources in the use of CSA include the importance of local knowledge, community involvement, and innovative financing mechanisms. In general, this study provides useful insights into Kenya's progress toward SDG 2 by harnessing climate-smart farming methods, impacting future policy decisions and sustainable development efforts across the region.
