🌱 Climate Change Threatens Crop Productivity in Dry Areas 🌱

⚠️ Key Concerns

📉 Soil fertility in dryland areas is weakening
📉 Crop productivity may fall by 25-30% by 2050
📉 More than half of India's cultivable land depends on rain

🌍 Major Challenges

🔺 Uncertain Monsoons: Some areas face floods, while others suffer from extreme drought.
🔺 Rising Temperatures: Global warming is making it harder for crops to survive.
🔺 Declining Soil Health: Fertility loss is leading to lower yields.

🚀 Urgent Solutions Needed

✅ Expand Irrigation Facilities: Improve water conservation and rainwater harvesting.
✅ Develop Climate-Resilient Crops: Breed varieties that need less water and can withstand extreme weather.
✅ Improve Soil Management: Use organic fertilizers and sustainable farming techniques.
✅ Boost Technological Innovation: Apply new scientific methods to prevent soil degradation.
