| ABSTRACT |
| Rice cultivation, vital to global food security and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), faces increasing threats from industrial pollution, which contaminates soil and water, endangers human health, and weakens agricultural resilience. Studies indicate that contaminants such as persistent organic pollutants, radioactive elements, dyes, and potentially toxic elements, particularly from mining and industrial activities, significantly degrade soil fertility, impair plant health, and introduce harmful residues into the food chain. This contamination compromises food safety and diminishes agricultural productivity, posing a serious challenge to sustainability. Addressing these impacts requires sustainable industrial practices, advanced technologies, and eco-friendly remediation techniques. Solutions like biochar applications, precision farming, and artificial intelligence (AI)-driven pollution detection provide effective measures for restoring soil health, protecting crop integrity, and ensuring the resilience of rice farming. These approaches align rice cultivation with global sustainability goals by integrating sustainable soil and water management, adaptive crop selection, and AI innovations. Protecting rice cultivation upholds farmer livelihoods and strengthens global commitments to SDGs Zero Hunger and a resilient, safe food supply, underscoring the essential balance between industrial progress and sustainable rice cultivation. |
