Create Food Production Systems Resilient to Extreme Weather Events

Climate change is increasing frequency and intensity of extreme weather events that devastate agricultural production, yet few farming systems are designed for resilience to multiple stressors. The challenge is developing agricultural systems that can survive and recover quickly from droughts, floods, storms, and temperature extremes. Barriers include infrastructure costs, complex system design, and trade-offs with production efficiency. Without weather-resilient systems, food production will become increasingly vulnerable to climate disruptions. Successful resilient systems could maintain food production despite extreme weather while reducing recovery costs, potentially protecting food security as climate extremes intensify.
