With increasing frequency and severity of droughts in various parts the world, agricultural productivity may suffer major setbacks. Among all abiotic factors, drought is likely to have one most detrimental effects on soil organisms plants. Drought a problem for crops because it limits availability water, consequently nutrients which are crucial plant growth survival. This results reduced crop yields, stunted growth, even death, according duration drought, plant’s developmental stage, genetic background. The ability withstand highly complex characteristic that controlled by multiple genes, making challenging attributes study, classify, improve. Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeat (CRISPR) technology has opened new frontier enhancement, revolutionizing molecular breeding. current review provides general understanding principles as well optimization CRISPR system, presents applications enhancement crops, specifically terms resistance yield. Moreover, we discuss how innovative genome editing techniques can aid identification modification genes conferring tolerance.

Salinization, the increase and accumulation of salts in water soil, impacts productivity arable crops is exacerbated by climate change. The Netherlands, like several other deltas semi-arid regions, faces increasing salinization that negatively agriculture freshwater availability. Although a lot salinity expertise exist knowledge gaps on impact as well steps to facilitate closing this improve saline still exist. This review/opinion article moves beyond existing papers bringing together various adaptation measures thoroughly reviewing through triple P (People, Planet, Profit) lens. Five main crop-soil-water continuum are 1) breeding selection salt tolerant varieties, 2) increased cultivation halophytes, 3) soil management interventions, 4) use biostimulants, 5) irrigation techniques. These described, discussed analysed for their compliance sustainable development elements People, Planet Profit. All five have potential positive livelihood, contribute food security generate revenue but hand, these may unwarranted changes ecosystem. paper ends with concluding chapter which bottlenecks need resolving identified based critical, including P, assessment measures. Three key breeding, agronomy, environmental sciences socioeconomics approaches lead insights elucidated. Thereby informing future research action plans optimize implementation Netherlands.
