The Future of Farming in a Changing World: From Physiology to Technology
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Topic explores the multifaceted effects of climate change, precision agriculture technologies, and agrivoltaics on crops’ physiology, growth, yield, quality, and subsequent food processing. These factors significantly influence the agricultural economies of many nations, leading to challenges (such as water scarcity) and opportunities (like the advent of innovative technologies). Climate change manifests in diverse forms: elevated temperatures, droughts, heat waves, intense rainfall, and the emergence of new diseases, which each present unique challenges in crop production. Conversely, precision agriculture technologies offer hope, enabling resource conservation, enhanced crop management, and the efficient utilization of traditional and underutilized crop varieties. This Topic will explore these issues to provide insights and solutions that will shape future crop production strategies.
