Tropical agriculture, characterized by warm temperatures and high humidity, plays a pivotal role in global food production. The unique climatic conditions in tropical regions offer ideal environments for cultivating a diverse range of crops, including fruits, vegetables, and staple foods like rice and sugarcane. Challenges such as pests and diseases are prevalent, requiring sustainable practices and innovative solutions. Agroforestry, intercropping, and efficient water management are essential components of tropical agriculture, promoting biodiversity and soil conservation. The cultivation of tropical crops contributes significantly to local economies, providing livelihoods for many communities. Research in this field focuses on developing resilient crop varieties, enhancing agri-technologies, and promoting sustainable practices to ensure food security and environmental sustainability in tropical regions.
