Application of new technologies for adaptation to climate changes in agricultural production – A review

Abstract

Climate change seriously threatens food security worldwide, causing extreme weather conditions and reducing agricultural productivity. Increased temperatures and greenhouse gas emissions are the main drivers of these changes. While increased CO2 concentration can enhance plant growth, elevated temperatures and other factors offset these benefits. Therefore, it is essential to consider adaptation measures, including the development of climate-tolerant crop varieties and innovations in agricultural practices to preserve food security in a changing climate. Smart agriculture involves the use of advanced technologies such as climate, soil, and plant monitoring sensors, IoT devices that enable the connectivity of various aspects of agricultural production, and data analytics for decision-making. These technologies enable farmers to better understand environmental changes and respond quickly to unpredictable climatic conditions.
