Farming in drylands has always been an act of resilience. It is a testament to the determination, patience, and innovation of millions of farmers who work against the odds, coaxing life out of some of the most challenging landscapes on Earth. As an agronomist who has walked these lands, observed the struggles and the triumphs, and worked closely with farmers and researchers alike, I have long felt the need for a comprehensive yet practical resource that brings together the scattered wisdom, research, and emerging innovations surrounding dryland agriculture. The book Advances in Dryland Farming Technologies is the realization of years of accumulated field experience and collaborative learning. It does not claim to have all the answers; however, it has aimed to bring clarity, structure, and direction to a topic that is often overlooked or misunderstood.
