Our civilization is fundamentally based on agriculture, which provides resources and food to an expanding population. But because of rising temperatures, altered rainfall patterns, and a rise in the frequency and severity of extreme weather events, climate change is endangering this industry. Our study aims to fill a significant gap in the existing literature by focusing on the effects of climate change on vegetable crops. It also highlights the need to address climate change in a differentiated manner, taking into account the unique characteristics of each agricultural sector. By using the Web of Science and Scopus databases, 219 publications were carefully examined to see which ones fully addressed how climate change is affecting vegetable crops. Only 53 of the 219 publications that were reviewed were solely concerned with how climate change is affecting vegetable crops. This suggests that more specialised research is needed in this field, especially considering the complex issues that climate change raises regarding yield, non-trivial quality, and food safety. Future research in this area is therefore encouraged. Crop-based adaptation techniques are required, taking into account the crop's characteristics, degree of sensitivity, and agro-ecological zone. In addition, monitoring the ability of various horticulture crops to absorb carbon dioxide in comparison to annual field crops can help create a blueprint for addressing climate change-related problems.
