Drought-Resistant Crops
Drought-resistant crops are specially developed plants that can survive and thrive in conditions with limited water availability. These crops have traits that allow them to conserve water, tolerate dry conditions, and maintain productivity even when rainfall is scarce. Examples include sorghum, millet, and certain varieties of maize.
Farmers grow drought-resistant crops to ensure food security in regions prone to drought. By using these crops, they can reduce the risk of crop failure and improve yields during dry spells. This approach is essential for adapting to climate change and maintaining agricultural sustainability in arid areas.
