  Climate-Resilient Agriculture Climate-Resilient Agriculture and Farming Methods Climate change poses significant challenges to global agriculture, with rising temperatures, erratic precipitation, and extreme weather events disrupting traditional farming practices and threatening food security. Climate-resilient agriculture seeks to address these challenges by enhancing the ability of agricultural systems to adapt to climate change while maintaining productivity and sustainability. This section explores strategies for adopting drought-resistant crops, innovative irrigation techniques, sustainable farming practices, and community-led approaches to build resilience in food systems. Adopting Drought-Resistant Crops Drought-resistant crops are central to climate-resilient agriculture, particularly in regions where water scarcity is exacerbated by climate change. These crops are bred or genetically engineered to withstand dry conditions, enabling farmers to maintain yields despi...

  Mangrove restoration and reforestation Forest Restoration and Reforestation Forests play a crucial role in combating climate change and enhancing ecological resilience. Forest restoration and reforestation are key nature-based solutions that focus on revitalizing degraded forest landscapes and increasing forest cover to mitigate climate impacts, conserve biodiversity, and improve local livelihoods. This section explores the principles, benefits, and challenges of forest restoration and reforestation initiatives. Reforestation for Climate Mitigation Reforestation involves planting trees in areas where forests have been lost, aiming to restore the natural ecosystem and enhance carbon sequestration. Forests play a critical role in carbon sequestration , acting as significant carbon sinks by absorbing CO₂ from the atmosphere and storing it in their biomass and soils . A mature forest has the capacity to store up to 30 tons of carbon per hectare annually, emphasizing the importance...
