Without transformative adaptation strategies, the impact of climate change is projected to reduce global crop yields and increase food insecurity, while rising greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions further exacerbate crisis. While agriculture a major contributor through unsustainable practices, it also offers significant opportunities mitigate these adoption sustainable practices. This review examines climate-smart (CSA) as key strategy for enhancing productivity, building resilience, reducing GHG emissions, emphasizing need strategic interventions accelerate its large-scale implementation improved security. The analysis revealed that nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) has in developed countries, NUE remains at 55.47%, precision nutrient management integrated soil fertility strategies enhance productivity minimize environmental impacts. With 40% world’s agricultural land already degraded, sustainability alone insufficient, necessitating shift toward regenerative practices restore degraded water by improving health, biodiversity, increasing carbon sequestration, thus ensuring long-term resilience. CSA including agriculture, biochar application, agroforestry, improve security, emissions. However, result variability highlights site-specific optimize benefits. Integrating multiple enhances health more effectively than implementing single practice alone. Widespread faces socio-economic technological barriers, requiring supportive policies, financial incentives, capacity-building initiatives. By adopting technologies, can transition sustainability, securing systems addressing challenges.

Drought and salinity are major factors that hinder crop cultivation significantly impair agricultural productivity, particularly in (semi)arid regions. These two abiotic constraints cause deterioration soil structure reduced fertility hamper plant growth by limiting access to mineral elements water, thereby threatening global food security. What’s more, the excessive, long-term use of chemical fertilizers boost productivity can disrupt balance ecosystems, health. Faced with these challenges, sustainable exploitation natural resources, particular rhizospheric microorganisms, is an environmentally friendly solution. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi play important role as biofertilizers due their symbiotic relationship roots nearly 80% plants. They promote not only host plants but also resistance stresses. Among fungi, Glomus genus stands out for its predominance plants’ rhizosphere thanks richness high-performance species ecological adaptability. This review highlights importance within this soils, terrestrial ecosystems subject (semi-)arid climates. Molecular mechanisms underlying tolerance drought salt stress symbiosis explored.

The plant microbiome, found in the rhizosphere, phyllosphere, and endosphere, is essential for nutrient acquisition, stress tolerance, overall health of plants. This review aims to update our knowledge critically discuss diversity functional roles rice as well microbiome engineering strategies enhance biofertilization resilience. Rice hosts various microorganisms that affect cycling, growth promotion, resistance stresses. Microorganisms carry out these functions through nitrogen fixation, phytohormone metabolite production, enhanced solubilization uptake, regulation host gene expression. Recent research on molecular biology has elucidated complex interactions within microbiomes signalling mechanisms establish beneficial microbial communities, which are crucial sustainable production environmental health. Crucial factors successful commercialization agents include soil properties, practical field conditions, genotype. Advances engineering, from traditional inoculants synthetic biology, optimize availability resilience abiotic stresses like drought. Climate change intensifies challenges, but innovations microbiome-shaping genes (M genes) offer promising solutions crop also discusses agronomic implications emphasizing need further exploration M breeding disease traits. Ultimately, we provide an current findings rice, highlighting pathways productivity sustainably while minimizing impacts.

Climate change presents significant risks to marginalized communities, particularly in tribal groups like the Bhil and Bhilala communities of Madhya Pradesh, India. Limited empirical studies have focused on effects climate tribes This study aims assess risk vulnerability among employing modified Mann–Kendall (MMK) test identify trends, a assessment framework based Intergovernmental panel sixth report (IPCC-AR6), multiple linear regression (MLR). The MMK indicates an increasing trend rainfall (MMK = 1.099) temperature. However, household perceptions reveal high awareness climatic changes, with 97% respondents reporting irregularity 98% documenting increased summer hot days. shows that households face higher (0.107) than (0.068), which is determined by exposure sensitivity.

Biofertilizers offer a sustainable method for improving rice growth and productivity, yet their effects on the interaction between plant growth, photosynthetic activity, gene expression remain under-researched. This study examines how biofertilizer influences physiology, focusing regulation of chlorophyll-related genes. Eight fertilizer treatments were applied: control (CNT), (BF), deactivated (DABF), straw (RS), with (RS+BF), organic (OF), (OF+BF), inorganic (IOF). Plant height, tiller number, SPAD, NDVI, chlorophyll content, photosynthesis rates measured, while analysis was conducted using RT-qPCR. The OF+BF treatment produced most significant results, leading to 31% increase in 135% 42% content (SPAD values) compared control. Additionally, enhanced efficiency by 74%, highest net rate 48.23 μmol CO2 m−2 s−1. Gene revealed that upregulated key photosynthesis-related genes, such as OsChlD OsCHLM, showing 70% 90% expression. These findings highlight potential integrating biofertilizers fertilizers sustainably boost contributing global food security climate change mitigation.
