Climate-Resilient Crops: Challenges and Opportunities

Climate-Resilient Crops: Challenges and Opportunities offers a clear and concise guide to the development of crops that can withstand the increasing threats of climate change. With rising global temperatures and more frequent extreme weather events, this book highlights innovative approaches in breeding, biotechnology, and crop management to meet future food demands. Covering a range of important crops—including cereals, oilseeds, fiber, and vegetables—the book integrates current research on stress tolerance, genetic resource utilization, root systems, and the role of plant metabolites. It also explores cutting-edge tools such as omics and genome editing for crop improvement. Designed for students, young researchers, and agricultural professionals, this book delivers practical insights into how science can contribute to climate-smart agriculture. By bridging gaps between disciplines and highlighting new breeding strategies, it serves as a valuable resource for those working to build sustainable food systems in an era of climate uncertainty.
