Climate Smart Crop

Being sessile, plants are among the most exposed to nature’s challenges. With the rapidly changing environment and the pressing global concern of climate warming, their adaptation becomes crucial. Conventional crop varieties are often unable to withstand such stresses, leading to reduced yields and food insecurity. To address this challenge, there is an urgent need for climate-smart crops that can adapt to changing environmental conditions while ensuring stable productivity. These crops are designed to tolerate heat, drought, salinity, and pest pressures, thereby contributing to sustainable food systems. Developing and adopting climate-smart crops is not only essential for safeguarding farmer livelihoods but also for ensuring global food security in the face of climate change
