💨 Abstract

In Pampore, India, the world's second-largest saffron producer, traditional farming of the expensive spice faces threats due to urbanization and climate change. To mitigate this, scientists are experimenting with indoor cultivation in controlled environments, demonstrating resistance to temperature changes and reducing the risk of crop failure. This innovation is being welcomed by local saffron growers who hope for more government support to scale up this method of cultivation.
