The advantages of resilient agriculture lie in its ability to help farmers withstand various perturbations throughout the growing season – drought, excessive rainfall, heat and pest pressures. According to Y. Buitenhuis et al. (2020), "the resilience of a farming system is its ability to manage change by responding and adjusting itself, while maintaining essential functions." Ingwell adds, “The key is how well the crop can buffer the environmental stressors without farmers having to intervene with synthetic measures.”
