Abstract

Agriculture is rapidly evolving with AI, IoT, and CRISPR-Cas9, enhancing resilience, efficiency, and sustainability. Precision Agriculture cuts water use by 20-40% and fertilizers by 30%, while Climate-Smart practices boost soil carbon and reduce GHG emissions by 30%. In India, ZBNF slashes input costs by 70-90%, raising profits by 50%, and vertical farming achieves 10-20 times yields with 90% less water. The SMAF program (2016-2023) planted 450 million trees, improving water efficiency by 15-25%. Global NBS investments hit $200 billion in 2024, covering 1.99M sq. km. Overcoming climate and market challenges requires a synergy of technology and nature-driven solutions for sustainable agriculture.
