drought resilience

Drought resilience refers to the ability of an environment, community, or agricultural system to withstand and recover from periods of low rainfall and water scarcity. It involves adapting practices and technologies that conserve water, such as efficient irrigation, drought-resistant crops, and sustainable land management. Building drought resilience also includes planning and policies that prepare for future droughts, ensuring that communities can maintain their food security, livelihoods, and ecosystem health even when water conditions are challenging. Essentially, it’s about being prepared and smart in using resources to face dry spells effectively.
