Abstract:

Climate change has significantly affected agricultural productivity in drought-prone regions, leading to food insecurity and economic instability. This study explores climate smart agricultural practices such as conservation farming, drip irrigation, crop diversification, and soil moisture conservation techniques. The research highlights how sustainable farming methods can enhance resilience among farming communities while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Findings indicate that integrating climate adaptation strategies with local agricultural knowledge improves productivity and long-term environmental sustainability. The study recommends stronger policy support and investment in sustainable agricultural technologies to address future climate challenges.
