Crop change and diversification
(Partly) changing to a climate resilient crop could be an option to deal with the effects of climate change. Examples of crops that grow well under high temperatures are tomatoes, beans, pumpkin & zucchini, corn, sweet potato, cowpea, eggplant, okra, Armenian cucumber, peppers, broccoli, millet-groundnut, mushroom, passionfruit, carrots and parsnips. While some of these crops need a lot of water, this could be overcome by irrigation. Diversifying one’s farm to cultivation of multiple crop species is a way to avoid years without any income.
