摘要

Climate change is increasingly disrupting agricultural productivity, food security, and ecological stability worldwide. This chapter examines the role of climate-smart agriculture in addressing these challenges through the strategic integration of advanced technologies. It explores how Internet of Things (IoT) solutions such as environmental sensors, remote monitoring systems, and predictive analytics enable farmers to track real-time data on soil health, weather patterns, and crop conditions, enhancing their ability to make adaptive decisions. Biotechnology innovations are also analyzed, particularly the development of climate-resilient crops engineered to tolerate drought, heat, and salinity. The chapter highlights the synergistic power of combining IoT and biotechnology to create precise, data-driven agricultural systems that reduce environmental impact while sustaining yields. Additionally, it underscores the importance of maintaining soil fertility and microbial health as foundational elements of sustainable agriculture, offering insights into techniques like organic amendments and reduced tillage. By integrating technological tools with ecological principles, this chapter presents a forward-looking approach to building agricultural resilience, optimizing resource use, and ensuring long-term food security in an era of climate volatility. The insights provided pave the way for the next discussion on minimizing food waste through IoT and biotechnology innovations.
