Develop Drought-Resilient Landscape Design for Climate Adaptation

Climate change is increasing drought frequency and severity, yet landscape design could create drought-resilient agricultural systems that maintain productivity during dry periods. The challenge is designing landscapes that conserve water while supporting agricultural production under increasing drought stress. Barriers include design complexity, infrastructure costs, and long-term planning requirements. Without drought resilience, agricultural landscapes become increasingly vulnerable to climate extremes while water resources face mounting pressure. Successful drought-resilient design could maintain agricultural productivity despite increasing drought while conserving water resources, potentially protecting food security as climate change intensifies water stress.
