Evaluating the Intercropping Systems in the Context of Agroecological Resilience in the Current Era of the Changing Climate: A Scenario of Scientific Analysis of Last Decade Data

ABSTRACT The extremity of climate change (CC) has become more crucial, and under the current context of CC during the last decade. The cropping system (CS) approach is more appropriate than a suitable and established package of practices for individual crops, as CS interrelates with other components and resources related to sustainable farming under the changing climate. The importance of CC in the current era must be documented. Hence, an initiative was taken to evaluate the current research published during the last decade to assess the role of the intercropping system in relation to resilience to CC and alignment with the SDGs. The study considered were from 2015 to 2024, supporting the importance of the intercropping system and the mitigation or adaptation of CC in the present context as a sustainable CS. The current scientometric analysis of the intercropping system suggested that it should be integrated into agricultural policies in agriculture‐based countries, climate action plans, the global sustainability framework, participatory research, co‐learning, and scientific experimentation. Furthermore, cutting‐edge technologies such as generative artificial intelligence, crop modeling, and the Internet of Things (IoT), along with farm mechanization, can be included to broaden the scope for the adoption of intercropping systems for agricultural sustainability.
