Resilient Crop Farming addresses the critical need for sustainable agriculture in the face of climate change. It explores how innovative farming methods can enhance crop adaptability and resilience, focusing on soil health, water management, and crop diversification.
The book highlights how improved soil structure and organic matter content can make crops more resistant to drought, while precision irrigation conserves scarce water resources.
The book uniquely integrates traditional ecological knowledge with modern scientific approaches, drawing upon a wide range of evidence, including scientific research papers, field trials, and case studies.
It begins by introducing the impacts of climate change on agriculture and then delves into core strategies like no-till farming, cover cropping, and the cultivation of climate-resilient crops, such as millets and sorghum.
Ultimately, the book offers practical guidance for farmers seeking to implement these strategies.
