Silicon in Climate-Smart Agriculture: Beyond Plant Nutrition

Climate change is no longer a distant projection—it is a present and accelerating reality reshaping global agriculture. Increasing temperatures, erratic rainfall patterns, prolonged droughts, soil salinization, and extreme weather events are placing unprecedented pressure on agricultural systems. At the same time, agriculture itself contributes significantly to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, soil degradation, and nutrient losses. This dual challenge—ensuring food security while mitigating environmental impacts—lies at the heart of climate-smart agriculture.
