Crops do not have sufficient water

Remove all but two young banana shoots away from the mother tree and replant in a different area (to relieve water stress during dry seasons)

Plant water sensitive/needy plants around water giving plants like nangalat and banana

Use multiple farming systems (mulching, alley cropping, mix planting etc)

Avoid Garden clearing or maintenance to allow moisture retention

Do not burn gardens as cleaning methods, rather weed and leave grass as a mulch to hold soil moisture and nutrients

Use permaculture in order to continuously protect soils from excessive drying and overheating

Allow several years of garden fallow before replanting in the same area

Relocate garden site to more moist/shaded area

Plant island cabbage every 2 months to ensure that seasonality will not affect all plants at all stages of cabbage growth

Plant yams before the onset of a major drought event
