Climate change poses a critical threat to global food security, intensifying the vulnerability of agricultural systems. As traditional crop varieties buckle under strain erratic temperature shifts, altered rainfall, and increasingly violent weather, urgency for innovative solutions grows. Climate-smart agriculture emerges as vital response, yet path forward feels uncertain, shadowed by scale these challenges. This review delves into cutting-edge breeding strategies aimed at bolstering resilience, with genomic biotechnological innovations taking center stage. Developing crops that can endure heat, drought, salinity is crucial, but stakes are high. The hope will stabilize yields foster sustainable practices, though outcomes remain unclear. For policymakers, researchers, stakeholders, question lingers: Will advancements be enough navigate growing storm insecurity?

Ultraviolet‑B (UV-B) radiation and drought are two environmental stresses that significantly reduce rice quality, yield, growth. Nevertheless, there currently few studies on the association between stress UV‑B stress. This review examined complex interactions stress, with an emphasis cumulative impact these have crop. The looks at how responds to a physiological, biochemical, molecular level, emphasizing shared signaling pathways defense mechanisms. According much literature, simultaneous exposure can synergistic effects intensify damage or cause particular adaptive reactions. Through integration of biotechnological methods advanced breeding techniques, offers strategies for developing cultivars resilient both radiation.
