El Niño is a reminder of how connected our food system is to the climate.
When El Niño develops, shifts in rainfall and temperature patterns can affect agricultural regions across the world.
Some areas experience drought. Others face excessive rainfall, flooding, disease pressure, or heat stress. The result is often the same: greater uncertainty for growers and increased pressure on crop performance.
As climate variability becomes more frequent, agriculture faces a growing challenge. It’s no longer enough to optimise crops for ideal conditions. Crops need to perform when conditions are unpredictable.
This is why resilience is becoming one of the most important goals in crop development. The future of agriculture depends not just on achieving higher yields, but on maintaining stable performance under real-world conditions.
