Drought-resistant varieties refer to plant breeds that have been developed to withstand periods of low water availability. These varieties are often engineered through selective breeding or genetic modification to enhance their ability to conserve water, maintain growth, and produce yields even in arid conditions. Farmers and researchers focus on creating these varieties to combat the challenges posed by climate change and water scarcity. By using drought-resistant crops, such as certain types of maize or wheat, agricultural productivity can be sustained, ensuring food security in regions prone to drought.
