Adaptive agricultural practices refer to the dynamic adjustments in agricultural management, production strategies, and resource-use decisions undertaken by farmers, communities, and institutions to reduce vulnerability and enhance resilience under changing environmental, economic, and social conditions ^[1][2]. Rooted in the frameworks of climate change adaptation and agricultural resilience, these practices enable farming systems to maintain productivity, livelihood stability, and food security amid increasing climatic variability, resource constraints, and market uncertainties ^[3]. Key adaptive measures include crop diversification, adoption of climate-resilient crop varieties, improved water management, conservation agriculture, livelihood diversification, and the integration of climate information into farm decision-making processes ^[1] . Unlike general agricultural innovations that primarily focus on productivity improvement, adaptive agricultural practices emphasize context-specific responses shaped by local ecological conditions, institutional support, access to resources, and socioeconomic constraints ^[2]. By enhancing flexibility in production systems and strengthening farmers’ capacity to anticipate and respond to external shocks, adaptive agricultural practices contribute to the long-term sustainability and resilience of agrarian communities ^[3].
