Abstract

This paper presents a comprehensive framework for sustainable cereal production, emphasizing the integration of climate-smart agriculture (CSA), precision farming, and effective soil management strategies. As staple cereals like corn, wheat, and rice constitute over 55% of global calorie intake, enhancing their production while mitigating environmental impact is critical for long-term food security. The study explores the role of CSA in adapting to climate change, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and boosting productivity through innovative technologies such as renewable energy and soil management practices. Precision farming, leveraging data-driven tools like GIS and GPS, optimizes resource use and crop efficiency, contributing to environmental sustainability and economic viability. Additionally, soil and crop management strategies (SCMS) are essential in preventing land degradation, improving nutrient efficiency, and fostering resilient agricultural systems. The paper also examines the specific agricultural conditions and challenges in North Macedonia, where a strategic focus on modernizing production, promoting climate-friendly practices, and enhancing technological adoption is necessary to ensure sustainable cereal production amidst environmental and market disruptions. This multi-dimensional approach offers valuable insights into balancing productivity with ecological sustainability, addressing global food security concerns. Key words: Sustainable cereal production, Climate-smart agriculture (CSA), Precision farming, Soil management strategies, Global food security
