Dryland Farming
Dryland farming is a method of agriculture practiced in areas with limited rainfall, relying on soil moisture stored from natural precipitation. It involves selecting drought-resistant crops, conserving soil moisture through techniques like crop rotation and minimal tillage, and managing vegetation to reduce water loss. This sustainable approach minimizes the need for supplemental irrigation, making it suitable for arid and semi-arid regions. The goal is to optimize crop yield while preserving soil health and conserving water resources, enabling farming in environments where water availability is a challenge.
