Disaster risk reduction and resilience must be systematically embedded into agricultural development plans and investments - particularly in countries facing recurrent disasters and where agriculture is a critical source of livelihoods, food security and nutrition if no one is to be left behind. Strategies for achieving resilient agriculture include: boosting agricultural productivity with stress-tolerant varieties, adjusting planting dates, expanding water harvesting, storage, and conservation, and insurance and social protection schemes for farmers. Many ofthe same measures that will make communities and households more resilient to disasters can also act as stepping stones out of poverty.
