CRA refers to the application of mitigation, adaptation, and other agricultural methods that improve the system's ability to withstand harm and bounce back swiftly from a variety of climate-related disruptions. Events like drought, flooding, heat or cold waves, irregular rainfall patterns, protracted dry spells, explosions in insect or pest populations, and other perceived threats brought on by climate change are examples of such perturbations and disruptions. It is, in essence, the system's capacity to recover. A built-in feature of climate resilient agriculture is the ability to identify threats that require action and assess how well those actions are working. By implementing best practices, CRA will primarily entail the prudent and enhanced management of natural resources, including soil, water, land, and genetic resources.
