Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In an era marked by the ever-pressing challenge of climate change, the world's cropping systems find themselves at a pivotal crossroads. The interplay between climate change and agriculture has emerged as a central concern, shaping the future of food production. It is within this context that we introduce this Special Issue, dedicated to exploring the multifaceted impact of climate change on crops.
This collection of papers represents a comprehensive examination of the diverse and intricate facets of this critical issue. From the macro- to the microscale, we delve into the effects of changing climate patterns and extreme weather events on crop yields, geographical distributions, and suitability.
Furthermore, this Special Issue ventures into the realm of adaptation, focusing on the ingenuity of both automated and human approaches to crop management in a climate-altered world. We highlight the innovative strategies that farmers and researchers are employing to mitigate the effects of climate change on agriculture.
In particular, we emphasize the implications of these findings for crop breeding and agronomic practices. Crop resilience and adaptability are paramount in ensuring a sustainable and food-secure future. Through the lens of this Special Issue, we aim to foster a dialogue among scientists, practitioners, and policymakers, driving forward the knowledge and solutions needed to confront the complex challenges posed by climate change to our crops.
