Understanding The Role of Genetic Diversity in Crop Resilience

Abstract

Genetic diversity plays a crucial role in enhancing the resilience of crops to environmental stressors such as pests, diseases, and climate variability. This article examines the significance of genetic diversity in agricultural systems, highlighting its contributions to food security and sustainability. By analysing various studies and data, we illustrate how diverse genetic traits can improve crop adaptation and yield stability under changing conditions. Our findings underscore the need for incorporating genetic diversity into breeding programs and agricultural practices to foster resilient food systems.
