Global food security is seriously threatened by climate change, which calls for creative agricultural solutions. However, little known about how different smart technologies are integrated to enhance security. As a strategic reaction these difficulties, this review investigates the incorporation of remote sensing (RS) as well artificial intelligence (AI) into climate-smart agriculture (CSA). This demonstrates advances can improve resilience, productivity, and sustainability utilizing AI's capacity predictive analytics, crop modelling, precision agriculture, along with RS's strengths in projections, land management, continuous surveillance. Several important tactics were covered, such combining AI RS regulate risks, maximize resource utilization, practice choices. The also discusses issues like policy frameworks, building, accessibility that prevent from being widely adopted. highlights further CSA offers insights they help ensure systems remain secure changing climates.

Published: Feb. 28, 2025

Agroforestry, which integrates trees and shrubs into agricultural systems, presents significant environmental economic advantages. This chapter explores its current state future in temperate boreal regions, each with unique climates challenges. In areas, practices like alley cropping, silvopasture, windbreaks enhance soil health, reduce erosion, boost biodiversity, while also providing ecological services such as carbon sequestration wildlife habitats. Boreal agroforestry adapts to harsh shelterbelts reforestation, focusing on cold-resistant species improve fertility manage snow cover. Challenges include high initial investment maintenance costs limited options due extreme cold areas. Ongoing research technological advancements promise address these challenges, innovations selection policy support expected the sustainability productivity of benefiting both conservation agriculture.

Traditional agroforestry practices integrate trees and shrubs into agricultural landscapes are deeply informed by indigenous knowledge systems. These practices, shaped millennia of observation, offer insights sustainable land management. Indigenous enhances understanding local ecosystems, soil types, climatic conditions, resulting in techniques that balance production with ecological conservation. Examples include the “milpa” system Mesoamerica, which combines maize, beans, squash diverse trees, “taungya” Southeast Asia, merges crops young tree plantations. foster biodiversity, promote various plant species for economic benefits, reflect a keen awareness seasonal cycles, maximizing yields while minimizing environmental impact. Despite facing modern challenges like tenure issues, integrating scientific approaches can enhance sustainability resilience systems, crucial addressing challenges.

The climate crisis poses a substantial risk to achieving global food security and sustainability. This chapter presents an analysis of the current level knowledge regarding agroforestry's ability promote simultaneously resilience, availability, eco-friendly land use. Agroforestry systems (AFS) are recognized as potent carbon (C) sinks, effectively reducing atmospheric dioxide (CO2) levels. It is estimated that trees in AFS can sequester 0.3-24 tC ha-1 yr-1. AFS, which occupy about 1 billion ha worldwide, have potential remove more than 10GtC yr-1 from atmosphere if fully optimized. C sequestration benefits be monetized by farmers, providing supplementary income source through credit market. In addition sequestration, provide numerous co-benefits such food, biodiversity conservation, soil erosion control, water cycling. key strategy for counteracting excessive emissions.
