    Salinity Stress in Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in the Changing Climate: Adaptation and Management Strategies
    (Frontiers Media Sa, 2021) EL Sabagh, Ayman; Islam, Mohammad Sohidul; Skalicky, Milan; Raza, Muhammad Ali; Singh, Kulvir; Hossain, Mohammad Anwar; Hossain, Akbar
    Wheat constitutes pivotal position for ensuring food and nutritional security; however, rapidly rising soil and water salinity pose a serious threat to its production globally. Salinity stress negatively affects the growth and development of wheat leading to diminished grain yield and quality. Wheat plants utilize a range of physiological biochemical and molecular mechanisms to adapt under salinity stress at the cell, tissue as well as whole plant levels to optimize the growth, and yield by off-setting the adverse effects of saline environment. Recently, various adaptation and management strategies have been developed to reduce the deleterious effects of salinity stress to maximize the production and nutritional quality of wheat. This review emphasizes and synthesizes the deleterious effects of salinity stress on wheat yield and quality along with highlighting the adaptation and mitigation strategies for sustainable wheat production to ensure food security of skyrocketing population under changing climate.

    Sustainable Solutions to Food Insecurity in Nigeria: Perspectives on Irrigation, Crop-Water Productivity, and Antecedents
    (Springer International Publishing, 2023) Wudil, Abdulazeez Hudu; Ali, Asghar; Raza, Hafiz Ali; Hameed, Muhammad Usman; Jellason, Nugun P.; Ogbaga, Chukwuma C.; Singh, Kulvir
    Improving living standards by enhancing agricultural productivity is mandatory to resolve Nigeria’s socioeconomic problems as more than 50% of the country’s population is dependent on agriculture for a living. Irrigation might offer huge potential in Nigerian agriculture, owing to the country’s vast water resources. This review seeks to provide an overview of Nigeria’s poverty and food insecurity situation and also proposes a long-term solution based on irrigated agriculture. This investigation utilized data from the past 20 years from more than 100 studies on food security, irrigation, and crop-water productivity between 2000 and 2020. The results elucidated that 92% of the evaluated studies opined that improvements in irrigation schemes enhanced the living standards of farming communities, reduced poverty, and improved food security status. Maintaining the current rise in the agriculture sector and its substantial contribution to poverty reduction seems to be indispensable in enhancing agricultural productivity. Therefore, agriculture equipped with better irrigation facilities is necessary for achieving the desired agricultural productivity. It is also crucial to increase the quality and efficacy of social services at all agrarian levels. In summary, enhancing food security, increasing irrigation efficiency, and crop-water productivity by improvement in social participation, facilitation of technical training, research and development promotion, intensification of governance, and public-sector management are of utmost importance for Nigeria. Appropriate access to high-quality marketing opportunities and the adoption of contemporary agricultural technologies would be key to the next level of success. © The Editor(s) (ifapplicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2022.
