In the face of rapid population growth, climate change, and environmental challenges, the connection between agronomic practices and global food security is more critical than ever. Despite advancements, food shortages persist in regions affected by drought, disease, and political instability. With the global population projected to double by 2050, sustainable agronomic practices are essential for meeting the rising demand for food, feed, and fuel. These practices improve soil, water, and labour productivity through methods like organic matter application and efficient resource use. Integrating modern agronomic techniques can enhance crop yields, promoting sustainable food production and global food security.
