Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
This is in general a nice an informative review paper. However, I missed more dateiled information on some segments, there is allot of data provided in the textz and this makes the paper difficult to read. PErhaps it would bi wise to present at least some of the data in tables.
Also, I miss the more detailed analysis of CSA in the context of DRC specifics (the paper presents the state of the art as it is) and consequently policy recommendations.

Reviewer 2 Report
This paper is about Climate-Smart Agriculture and there is no references about ICT and advisory, something crutial to the aims of the paper.
There is up-to-date literature in the regions of Greece, Cyprus, Serbia etc., that must be included to the text.
Apart from this, the paper is adequate.

Reviewer 3 Report
I have reviewed the manuscript (Review paper) titled " Current Practices and Prospects of Climate-Smart Agriculture in Democratic Republic of Congo. A Review". This manuscript (Review paper) discusses the smart agriculture in Congo.
I do find it suitable for the Land but I have the following observations on this MS.
First of all, I would like to congratulate the authors who made effort to write this review which is very important in perspective of African nations (climate-smart agriculture) and highlight the current practices. The review paper is written very well and well organized.
Therefore, I do recommend this paper to be published into the Land journal.
The MS does contribute new in terms of methodology - a set of well-known methods have been applied and explained in this term paper and these methods are important as well.
I see a fruitful discussion on the generated datasets. The introduction is improved and the scientific problem has been clearly identified and addressed.
I do see little novelty in both scientific findings and methodological improvement.
Minor revisions need to be done before publication.
I don't feel qualified to judge the English language and style but the English language needs improvement.
Figure 3: explains the climate of Congo but it should be explained with the linkage of climate and agriculture.
Figure 4: need to be more elaborative in term of their results/findings.
Line 323 to 325 need more elaborations.
Line 428 to 430 need to be revised.
