Plant growth has a direct impact on human livelihoods, and climate and soil conditions are key determinants of plant growth. Optimal plant growth requires an ideal environment, but global warming is increasingly disrupting these conditions, posing significant challenges to agricultural production. To optimize vegetable production in the face of these changes, the use of agronomic adaptation strategies, soil amendments, and effective management practices becomes essential. These combined approaches can help address the effects of climate change and soil variability, ultimately leading to improved crop quality. Despite the urgency of these issues, knowledge of how global warming specifically affects crop growth, yield and distribution is still limited. Potatoes, as one of the most widely cultivated vegetables globally, provide a valuable model for studying these complex interactions. Therefore, further research focusing on the interplay between climate, soil, and crop performance, with an emphasis on potatoes, is crucial for developing sustainable agricultural practices that can withstand the challenges posed by a changing climate.
