  • Abstract:
  • Saffron, a high-value spice derived from the flower of Crocus sativus, has been an integral part of Kashmir's agricultural landscape for centuries. However, recent years have witnessed a notable decline in saffron production in the region, primarily attributed to changing environmental conditions. This paper investigates the impact of temperature variations and seasonal shifts on saffron cultivation in Kashmir, highlighting the critical role of climate change in altering the crop's productivity. By analyzing historical climate data and current agricultural practices, we identify key challenges faced by saffron farmers, including temperature extremes, altered precipitation patterns, and soil degradation. In response to these challenges, the paper proposes the integration of a novel technique, specifically a modified aeroponic system, as a sustainable solution for saffron farming. This approach not only offers a controlled environment for saffron growth but also provides an opportunity for training local farmers in advanced agricultural techniques. The proposed system aims to mitigate the adverse effects of climate variability by optimizing growing conditions and enhancing water use efficiency.
