Climate-Resilient Crops
Climate-resilient crops are varieties of plants specifically bred or selected to withstand the challenges posed by climate change, such as extreme temperatures, drought, and flooding. These crops are designed to maintain productivity and nutritional value even under adverse conditions, helping to ensure food security in a changing environment.
Farmers can benefit from climate-resilient crops by reducing their reliance on chemical inputs and irrigation, leading to more sustainable agricultural practices. Research institutions and organizations, such as the International Rice Research Institute, are actively working to develop and promote these crops to support global food systems and adapt to climate variability.
