Breeding for multi‐stress resilience in crops: Myth or possibility?
Climate change threatens millions of farmers worldwide by exposing crops to multiple concurrent or sequential environmental stresses such as drought, heat, waterlogging, and diseases. Although crops have long been selected under naturally occurring multi‐stress conditions, breeding pipelines largely focus on optimal or single‐stress environments ...

Capsicum chinense as an African traditional vegetable: Culture, resilience, and opportunity
Capsicum chinense is central to everyday diets, cultural identity, and smallholder livelihoods across Sub‐Saharan Africa, yet remains overlooked in agricultural research and policy. This paper reframes C. chinense as a traditional, climate‐resilient vegetable shaped by centuries of farmer stewardship and cultural selection.

From wild to tamed: Reimagining novel crops through omics and local plant diversity
The global food system faces growing pressure from climate change, biodiversity loss, and rising nutritional demands. Agriculture has increased yields but reduced crop diversity, flavor, and nutritional quality, leaving societies vulnerable and dependent on a narrow set of staple species.

Precision agriculture for water saving: The case of processing tomato and table grape
Agriculture faces increasing pressure to produce high‐quality food while reducing water use under intensifying climate change and water scarcity. This study compared sensor‐based precision irrigation, drone monitoring, and near‐infrared spectroscopy with conventional farmer management in table grape and processing tomato production systems.
