  abstract = {{D}rought stress is a major constraint to sustainable wheat production worldwide, including sub-{S}aharan {A}frica, where environmental and poor agronomic practices exacerbate the yield gap. {D}rought disrupts physiological, biochemical, and molescular processes, negatively impacting crop growth, grain yield and quality. {T}his review outlines a range of effective management strategies to cope with drought stress in wheat, including the adoption of drought-tolerant wheat cultivars, advanced agronomic practices, and precision irrigation techniques. {T}he review emphasises the role of carbon isotope discrimination ({CID}) in breeding programs, enhancing water-use efficiency, and crop resilience under drought conditions. {C}ollaborative efforts among researchers, farmers, and policymakers are essential to enhance adaptive capacity and promote food security amidst growing climate variability. {F}uture research should focus on developing and deploying drought-tolerant cultivars and integrating {CID} technology in wheat-breeding programmes to build climate-resilient agriculture systems.},
