Abstract

This chapter delves into the critical challenges and opportunities in sustainable agriculture within semi-arid climates, focusing on resilience, productivity, and sustainability. It explores innovative management practices in horticulture, livestock, and aquaculture, highlighting the role of advanced technologies like precision agriculture, genetic engineering, and climate-smart practices. The text emphasizes the importance of resource management, including water scarcity, soil degradation, and biodiversity loss, proposing solutions such as rainwater harvesting and community-based resource management. Additionally, it discusses the socio-economic aspects of agriculture, including household vulnerability and livelihood diversification, and underscores the need for integrated approaches to foster sustainable agroecosystems. The chapter concludes by providing a roadmap for transitioning to sustainable agricultural systems, emphasizing the interconnectedness of agricultural subsystems and the importance of empowering communities through knowledge and policy support.
