Abstract
Jute, referred to as "golden fiber," beautifully intertwines tradition and eco-friendliness, weaving a fabric that stands resilient and vital towards a greener and more sustainable future. Jute (Corchorus spp.) is notable as a remarkable and versatile plant with a multitude of applications, making it a key player in sustainable agriculture. Jute, with its exceptional carbon sequestration capabilities, plays a vital role in climate change adaptation, surpassing other crops in its significant environmental benefits. This article explores the eco-friendly attributes, unique climatic adaptation, various traditional approaches, and sustainable nature of jute, emphasizing its significant role in climate change mitigation and adaptation. Jute's positive influence extends beyond its well-known use as a fiber source, encompassing various aspects of soil fertility enhancement and biomass production, including vegetables. The multipurpose nature of jute makes it a standout contributor to sustainable practices. Its cultivation proves beneficial for climate adaptation and adaptability to diverse environmental conditions. The cultivation of jute emerges as an integral approach to address climate change challenges. Through comprehensive utilization, every part of the jute plant finds purpose, minimizing waste and maximizing resource efficiency. This work highlights the significance of acknowledging jute as a vital player in promoting environmentally friendly and sustainable practices, creating a balanced coexistence between agriculture and the evolving climate change.
