Abstract

Climate change, driven predominantly by human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation, is causing significant alterations to global weather patterns. This phenomenon results in more frequent and severe weather events, including prolonged droughts, intense rainfall, and shifting temperature regimes. Such changes pose a substantial threat to agriculture, a sector highly dependent on stable climatic conditions. Crop yields are increasingly unpredictable due to these extreme weather events and shifting growing seasons, impacting food security and livelihoods worldwide. To address these challenges, climate resilience agriculture has emerged as a pivotal solution. This approach involves adopting farming practices and technologies designed to withstand and adapt to changing climatic conditions. Strategies include diversifying crop varieties, precision agriculture, climate smart agriculture, nano biochar application, coated fertilizer applications, natural farming, site specific nutrient management, mulching, precise water management, seed bombing, direct seeding in rice, implementing soil conservation methods etc. Additionally, climate resilience agriculture promotes the integration of traditional knowledge with modern scientific advancements to enhance ecosystem robustness and productivity. By fostering adaptive capacity and reducing vulnerability, climate resilience agriculture aims to safeguard food systems and sustain agricultural productivity in the face of ongoing climate disruptions.
