Recent Advances in Sustainable Horticultural Crop Production: Integrating Climate-resilient and Eco-friendly Practices

Abstract

Climate change has a significant impact on agriculture, particularly the growth of specialty crops.   This study looks at the effects on high-value fruits, nuts, and herbs, with an emphasis on the challenges in rural and developing areas. The quality, productivity, and economic viability of specialty crops may be impacted by climate change.  Rising rates of pests and illnesses, as well as changing patterns of temperature and precipitation, pose serious concerns to food security and economic stability. By incorporating smart systems, such as sensor technologies and precision agriculture, these consequences can be lessened.  These technologies enhance crop management strategies and optimize resource utilization by providing real-time environmental condition monitoring and modification. The significance of developing resilience through creative farming methods, sustainable practices, and thorough research is emphasized in this paper.  Using these tactics ensures long-term productivity and economic stability by shielding farmers' crops from the negative effects of climate change.
