“…There are many useful approaches adopted by farmers, including abiotic factors such as altering planting and harvesting time, a collection of crops with short life cycles, crop rotation, irrigation techniques, and variation in cropping schemes. Under climatic stress conditions, all of these approaches are very beneficial for crop adaptability [112,113,114,115]. Modification in sowing time, application of drought resistant cultivars, and the cultivation of new crops are some important strategies to lessen the climatic variability danger and provide better adaptability to crop plants for assuring food safety and security [116].…”

Agriculture and climate change are internally correlated with each other in various aspects, as climate change is the main cause of biotic and abiotic stresses, which have adverse effects on the agriculture of a region. The land and its agriculture are being affected by climate changes in different ways, e.g., variations in annual rainfall, average temperature, heat waves, modifications in weeds, pests or microbes, global change of atmospheric CO2 or ozone level, and fluctuations in sea level. The threat of varying global climate has greatly driven the attention of scientists, as these variations are imparting negative impact on global crop production and compromising food security worldwide. According to some predicted reports, agriculture is considered the most endangered activity adversely affected by climate changes. To date, food security and ecosystem resilience are the most concerning subjects worldwide. Climate-smart agriculture is the only way to lower the negative impact of climate variations on crop adaptation, before it might affect global crop production drastically. In this review paper, we summarize the causes of climate change, stresses produced due to climate change, impacts on crops, modern breeding technologies, and biotechnological strategies to cope with climate change, in order to develop climate resilient crops. Revolutions in genetic engineering techniques can also aid in overcoming food security issues against extreme environmental conditions, by producing transgenic plants.

“…This strategy did not only decrease yield losses in the dry period but also reduced the cost of production due to more efficient use of irrigation. Hence, cropping rotation was found to be a better Glorins approach in an agricultural system (Teixeira et al, 2018). In this business, the major products from the farm are water spinach and tomato.…”

Due to increased unemployment among graduates, the University of Darussalam Gontor-Indonesia provided a program for strengthening entrepreneurship in start-up businesses in the agricultural sector. To achieve this objective, a community empowerment program was created that includes four strategic levels namely, 1) assessment; 2) training; 3) mentoring; and 4) monitoring and evaluation. This program was applied to 8 start-up businesses in sub sectors such as horticulture production, aquaculture, livestock, and agro-industrial. Assessment analysis resulted in three main targets on the entrepreneurship training program including 1) improvement of production; 2) development of a financial system, and 3) expansion of the marketing network. After 6 months, the community empowerment program improved acceptable and profitable production through different technology implementation methods. To build financial systems, every group recorded financial data through a Microsoft excel program template, and created a strategic plan based on present information and educated projections. Furthermore, every business unit had to be proficient in operating the website and with social media accounts for developing marketing network. General evaluation confirmed that this program could gradually enhance the skills of business owners/entrepreneurs. Good education in entrepreneurial skills in start-up businesses could drive sustainable performance and growth small-medium enterprises.

“…A regional impact assessment of climate change can help with the development of adaptation strategies to climate change 1,2 . These impact assessment studies are often accompanied by projection of an ecological variable using future climate change scenario data as inputs to ecological models and agronomic models [3][4][5] . However, the compounded effect of uncertainty inherent in the climate input data to the models can affect the projected results 6 .…”
