Water-efficient crops are specially developed plants that require less water to grow compared to traditional varieties. These crops are designed to thrive in arid and semi-arid regions, making them essential for sustainable agriculture in areas facing water scarcity. By using less water, they help conserve this vital resource while still providing food for growing populations. Examples of water-efficient crops include drought-resistant wheat, sorghum, and quinoa. These crops have adapted traits, such as deeper root systems or reduced leaf area, which allow them to utilize water more effectively. Promoting the use of these crops can enhance food security and support environmental sustainability.
