Adapt or Perish in Climate Change: Climate-resilient Agriculture

  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...
