Abstract

Climate change poses major challenges to horticultural production through rising temperatures, irregular rainfall, droughts, floods, and increased pest and disease incidence. These factors affect crop productivity, produce quality, and nutritional security. Climate-resilient horticulture promotes sustainable solutions such as climate-tolerant varieties, crop diversification, precision irrigation, protected cultivation, integrated pest management, and improved soil health. Emerging technologies, including genomics, remote sensing, and artificial intelligence, offer opportunities to enhance crop adaptation and resource-use efficiency. Integrating these strategies can strengthen farmers’ resilience, reduce environmental impacts, and ensure sustainable production of nutritious fruits and vegetables. Climate-resilient horticulture is essential for achieving long-term food security, nutritional well-being, and sustainable agricultural development.
