The scientific rationale for climate resilient agriculture is grounded in the urgent need to safeguard food security, rural livelihoods, and ecosystems in the face of increasing climate variability and extreme weather events. Rising global temperatures and shifting rainfall patterns are leading to frequent droughts, floods, heatwaves, and pest outbreaks, which collectively threaten crop yields, disrupt livestock and fisheries, and reduce agricultural incomes—potentially by 15–25 percent in regions like India. Adoption of climate resilient agricultural practices—such as stress-tolerant crop varieties, efficient water and nutrient management, integrated pest control, and conservation of soil organic carbon—not only enables farms to adapt to changing climatic conditions but also enhances productivity and reduces environmental impact. These practices are essential in areas facing water scarcity or extreme events, as they promote agricultural systems that can absorb shocks, recover quickly, and ensure sustainable productivity. Collaboration between stakeholders, integration of new technologies, and blending indigenous knowledge are also crucial for enabling farmers to make informed decisions amid climate uncertainty, supporting achievement of key sustainable development goals such as ending hunger and poverty, and promoting climate action.
