Resilient crop ecosystems are agricultural systems designed to withstand and adapt to environmental stressors such as climate change, pests, and disease outbreaks. These ecosystems focus on biodiversity, soil health, and water management to maintain productivity in the face of adverse conditions. By promoting the use of cover crops, crop rotation, and agroecological practices, resilient ecosystems increase the stability of food production. Furthermore, integrating pest management and conservation techniques can reduce dependence on synthetic chemicals, fostering a more sustainable farming environment. Resilient crop ecosystems are essential for ensuring food security, particularly in regions vulnerable to climate extremes, and support the long-term viability of agricultural landscapes.
