Enhancing climate resilience in Sorghum production

Abstract

Climate change poses significant challenges to global agriculture, impacting crop yields, water availability, and food security. Sorghum, a staple crop for millions in semi-arid regions, is highly valued for its resilience to drought and heat. However, escalating climate variability necessitates enhanced strategies to fortify its resilience further. This review paper aims to explore and synthesize current strategies and innovations in enhancing climate resilience in sorghum production. We examine genetic improvement, agronomic practices, and technological interventions designed to improve sorghum's adaptability to climate stressors. The ultimate objective is to outline a comprehensive approach that integrates these strategies, ensuring sustainable sorghum production under changing climatic conditions.
