Abstract
Adopting climate-resilient agriculture practices can indeed enhance income security by mitigating the risks posed by climate change. It involves implementing strategies that help farmers adapt to changing climate conditions, such as droughts, floods, and extreme temperatures. These practices can include crop diversification, improved water management, soil conservation, and the use of resilient crop varieties. By adopting such practices, farmers can better protect their crops and livelihoods against climate-related risks, ultimately leading to improved income security.
Climate-resilient agriculture refers to practices, technologies, and systems that help agriculture adapt to and mitigate the impacts of climate change. These approaches aim to maintain or increase agricultural productivity while enhancing the resilience of farming systems to climate variability and extreme weather events.
