Next‐Generation Sustainable Food Production Through Integrative Biotechnology, AI , and Climate‐Resilient Innovations

By 2050, the global population is projected to reach ~10 billion, leading to 50% increase in food demand. This growth will place immense pressure on agricultural systems that are already struggling with the impacts of climate change and resource depletion. Key challenges include erratic rainfall patterns, increased occurrence of extreme weather events, land degradation, and freshwater scarcity. To ensure global food security, it is critical to revolutionize food production strategies by shifting toward sustainable, climate‐resilient practices. This review highlights the following advances: (1) pioneering protein production methods (cultured meat and precision fermentation); (2) soilless cultivation systems (hydroponics, aeroponics, and aquaponics) combined with advanced molecular engineering (gene editing and photosynthesis engineering); and (3) emergence of carbon‐sequestering crops for agriculture to function as a carbon sink, helping to mitigate climate change. The integration of artificial intelligence, automation, and precision agriculture enables us to monitor and manage soil, crops, and climate conditions in real‐time, thereby maximizing yield and resource utilization efficiency. These innovations represent a transformative shift in global food production, aligning agricultural productivity with environmental sustainability.
