“…New breeding techniques (NBTs) and in particular those based on genome editing (CRISPR/Cas9) encompasses an impressive and revolutionary set of molecular tools to enhance productivity by creating genetic variability for breeding purpose, disease-free and healthy planting genetic material, improvement in stress tolerance (Mote et al, 2022;Brower-Toland et al, 2023;Liu et al, 2023). The genome-editing approach can significantly accelerate the breeding times to select environmentally tolerant crop varieties (Zhang et al, 2023).…”

Global agricultural production must double by 2050 to meet the demands of an increasing world human population but this challenge is further exacerbated by climate change. Environmental stress, heat, and drought are key drivers in food security and strongly impacts on crop productivity. Moreover, global warming is threatening the survival of many species including those which we rely on for food production, forcing migration of cultivation areas with further impoverishing of the environment and of the genetic variability of crop species with fall out effects on food security. This review considers the relationship of climatic changes and their bearing on sustainability of natural and agricultural ecosystems, as well as the role of omics-technologies, genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, phenomics and ionomics. The use of resource saving technologies such as precision agriculture and new fertilization technologies are discussed with a focus on their use in breeding plants with higher tolerance and adaptability and as mitigation tools for global warming and climate changes. Nevertheless, plants are exposed to multiple stresses. This study lays the basis for the proposition of a novel research paradigm which is referred to a holistic approach and that went beyond the exclusive concept of crop yield, but that included sustainability, socio-economic impacts of production, commercialization, and agroecosystem management.
