kimchi is a traditional food made with chinese cabbage as the main ingredient and plays an important role in korean culture. however, as the temperature rises, the growing environment of chinese cabbage is changing. in the past, chinese cabbage was mostly grown in mountainous areas, where the temperature was mainly maintained at around 25 degrees celsius even in summer. however, with the trend of rising temperatures, these traditional planting methods are facing challenges.

studies have shown that rising temperatures caused by climate change are threatening the survival of chinese cabbage, and there are even predictions that south korea may not be able to grow chinese cabbage one day due to rising temperatures. botanist lee young-gyu said that chinese cabbage grows best in a cool climate, with the best temperature being between 18 and 21 degrees celsius, and the current temperature changes make these conditions difficult to meet. kimchi craftsman lee ha-yeon also pointed out that when the temperature rises, the heart of the cabbage will deteriorate and the roots will become soft. if this situation continues, south korea will have to give up kimchi in the summer.

data released by the korea national statistical office show that in 2023, the area of ​​cabbage cultivation in south korea's high-altitude cold regions will be less than half of what it was 20 years ago, from 8,796 hectares to 3,995 hectares. researchers believe that in addition to rising temperatures, unpredictable rainstorms and difficult-to-control pests are also the reasons for the decline in cabbage production. fungal infections that wilt plants are particularly troublesome for farmers because they can only be observed near harvest time.

kim si-gap, a 71-year-old korean farmer, lamented: "kimchi is an indispensable food on our table. if one day korea can no longer grow chinese cabbage, what will we do?" these questions have triggered people's thinking about future development. as climate change intensifies, the kimchi industry faces huge challenges and opportunities. how to deal with these challenges? new technical means and strategies are needed to ensure the long-term development of the kimchi industry and meet people's demand for traditional food.

future outlook:

• technological innovation: emerging logistics technologies, such as driverless vehicles and automated warehousing systems, are changing the landscape of the e-commerce and express delivery industry, bringing more convenient service experiences to consumers and merchants, and also providing new opportunities for the kimchi industry.
• green development: promoting sustainable agricultural models and reducing the impact on the environment are the key to addressing climate change and are also the future development direction of the kimchi industry.

as the world faces the challenge of climate change, we need to work together to find solutions that protect our environment and our way of life.
