This handbook is a digital guideline on sustainable agricultural practices, prepared within the framework of the I-CISK project, funded by the European Union.

The document thoroughly discusses the impact of drought on agriculture in Georgia, taking into account climate change projection scenarios.

The guideline outlines specific methods and techniques for enhancing drought resilience, including:

• Management of soil organic matter and improving water retention capacity (including through composting).

• Minimum soil tillage and mulching.

• Crop rotation and increasing the diversity of agricultural crops.

• The use of cover crops and agroforestry.

• Sustainable pasture management.

The document emphasizes the necessity of combining these practices to establish an agro-ecosystem resilient to climate change.
