crop resilience

Crop resilience refers to a plant's ability to withstand and recover from challenges like drought, pests, diseases, or extreme weather. Resilient crops can endure these stresses without significant loss in yield or quality, maintaining food production and stability. This resilience is often achieved through natural traits, such as deep roots or pest resistance, or through agricultural practices like crop diversity and soil management. Ultimately, resilient crops help ensure consistent food supplies and reduce vulnerability to climate change impacts.
