drought-resistant crops
Drought-resistant crops are plants that have been developed or selected to survive and thrive in conditions with limited water availability. These crops possess 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 often choose 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, even in challenging climates. This approach is increasingly important as climate change leads to more frequent and severe droughts worldwide.
