Climate-resilient crops are developed to withstand extreme weather events, such as droughts, floods, and heatwaves, and to maintain productivity under changing climate conditions.

Climate-resilient crops help ensure food security by providing a reliable source of food even in the face of changing climate patterns and extreme weather events.

Sorghum is a climate-resilient crop known for its drought tolerance and ability to thrive in harsh conditions.

Farmers can contribute to the development and adoption of climate-resilient crops by adopting sustainable agricultural practices, such as crop rotation, water conservation, and integrated pest management.

The development and promotion of climate-resilient crops face challenges such as lack of funding for research and development, resistance from farmers to adopt new technologies, and limited access to climate-resilient crop varieties.

Governments and international organizations play a crucial role in promoting climate-resilient crops by providing financial support for research and development, developing policies to encourage their adoption, and raising awareness about their importance.

Consumers can contribute to the demand for climate-resilient crops by choosing to buy food products made from these crops, advocating for policies that support climate-resilient agriculture, and educating themselves and others about their importance.

Adopting climate-resilient crops can lead to increased crop yields, reduced vulnerability to climate change, and improved food security.

Climate-resilient crops can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions by reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers, increasing soil carbon sequestration, and reducing the need for irrigation.

Scaling up the adoption of climate-resilient crops faces challenges such as lack of access to improved crop varieties, limited technical support for farmers, and high costs of climate-resilient seeds.

Research and development can contribute to the development of improved climate-resilient crops by developing new crop varieties with enhanced resilience, improving the understanding of crop-climate interactions, and developing better management practices for climate-resilient crops.

Farmers' knowledge and practices play a crucial role in the adoption of climate-resilient crops by helping identify suitable varieties, adapting them to local conditions, and managing them effectively.

Extension services can support farmers in adopting climate-resilient crops by providing information about climate-resilient crop varieties, training on climate-resilient crop management practices, and access to climate-resilient crop seeds and inputs.

Governments can implement policy measures such as providing subsidies for climate-resilient crop seeds and inputs, developing policies that encourage the use of climate-resilient crops in public procurement, and investing in research and development for climate-resilient crops to promote their adoption.

International cooperation can contribute to the development and promotion of climate-resilient crops by facilitating the exchange of germplasm and genetic resources, supporting research and development collaborations, and promoting the adoption of climate-resilient crops in developing countries.
