    Climate Smart Agronmic Practices for Sustainable Plantation Crop Yield
    (Rubicon Publications, London, UK, 2025) Sanket Kumar, Nitish Kumar
    Climate change, resource shortages, and changing pest-disease patterns are putting increasing burden on plantation crops, including coconut, oil palm, coffee, tea, cocoa, rubber, and spices. Climate-smart agronomic practices (CSAPs) are crucial for maintaining yields and farmer livelihoods since they improve production, resilience/adaptation, and mitigation all at once. This study summarizes current research on CSAPs that are relevant to plantation systems, explains how they increase resilience and productivity, assesses supporting tools and regulations, and suggests practical approaches to scale climate-smart plantation management. Digital decision-support tools, precision water and nutrient management, agroforestry and diversification, enhanced planting material and spacing, integrated pest and disease management (IPDM), and soil health management are some of the important CSAPs that were covered. We conclude with suggestions for policy, outreach, and research to hasten adoption while preserving ecological services.

    Innovations and Future Directions in Sustainable Agriculture
    (Book Rivers, 2025) Sunil Kumar, Aman Verma, Mustfa Hussain
    Sustainable agriculture focuses on meeting present food demands without compromising future generations. Innovations such as precision farming, climate-smart practices, integrated nutrient management, biofertilizers, biopesticides, conservation agriculture, and digital advisory systems have improved productivity and resource efficiency. Technologies like artificial intelligence, remote sensing, renewable energy use, and water-efficient irrigation systems are enhancing resilience to climate change. Future directions emphasize soil health restoration, biodiversity conservation, carbon sequestration, and circular bioeconomy approaches. Strengthening extension services, farmer participation, and supportive policies will accelerate adoption. These advancements aim to build a resilient, eco-friendly, and economically viable agricultural system worldwide.
