Climate resilient agriculture (CRA) is a sustainable approach to farming that aims to increase the resilience of farming to climate change. It involves a variety of practices that help to:
Increase productivity
Mitigate risks
Reduce greenhouse gas emissions
Sequester carbon
Improve soil health
Reduce erosion
Increase water retention
Augment water reservoirs
Recharge water tables:

Some examples of CRA practices include:
Soil organic carbon build up
In-situ moisture conservation
Residue incorporation instead of burning
Water harvesting and recycling
Growing drought and flood tolerant varieties
Agroforestry
Contour bunding
Farm ponds
Check dams
Biofertilizers

The word “resilience” comes from the Latin word resilio, which originally meant the ability of a material to resist external shocks.CRA Practices:
Agroforestry: Agroforestry involves the cultivation of trees along with crops, which can help to improve soil health, reduce soil erosion, and enhance biodiversity.
This practice helps to increase soil moisture retention, and provide multiple benefits to farmers.
Soil and Water Conservation: Techniques such as contour bunding, farm ponds, and check dams can help to improve soil moisture retention, reduce soil erosion, and increase groundwater recharge.
These practices can also help farmers to cope with droughts and water scarcity, which are becoming more frequent due to climate change.

Sustainable Agriculture: Practices such as crop diversification, organic farming, and integrated pest management help to reduce the use of chemical inputs and improve soil health.

These practices also reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve farmers’ income and food security.

Livestock Management: Livestock management practices such as stall-feeding and mixed cropping can improve the productivity and resilience of livestock systems.
These practices also reduce the pressure on natural resources such as grazing lands, which are becoming scarce due to climate change.
