The document titled Climate-Smart Agriculture: Adapting to Environmental Changes explores the critical impact of climate change on agriculture, particularly focusing on insect pests and their evolving dynamics. The global rise in temperatures and shifts in precipitation patterns are altering pest behaviors, leading to increased geographic range, survival rates, and infestations. This threatens global food security by reducing crop yields and increasing the difficulty of managing pest populations. The document emphasizes the need for adaptive pest management strategies, integrating technologies like remote sensing and climate-resilient crop varieties. Additionally, it addresses the dual challenges posed by elevated CO2 levels, which may increase crop yields but simultaneously reduce nutritional quality. The study underscores the importance of developing innovative agricultural practices to ensure food security in the face of climate change, advocating for interdisciplinary research to mitigate the risks associated with rising temperatures, pest outbreaks, and shifting disease patterns.
