Climate change presents considerable challenges to agricultural systems, particularly regarding nitrogen (N) dynamics within ecosystems. While nitrogen is crucial for plant growth, its overuse in agriculture results in environmental issues such as water pollution, soil degradation, and increased greenhouse gas emissions. This review summarizes current understanding of the interactions between climate change and agricultural nitrogen losses, emphasizing their implications for soil, water, and environmental quality. We explore various strategies to improve nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) while minimizing environmental losses. These strategies include adopting precision agriculture techniques, using cover crops and crop rotation, implementing controlled-release fertilizers, and integrating agro ecological practices. We also discuss the importance of policy frameworks and farmer education in promoting sustainable nitrogen management. By addressing the complex challenges posed by climate change, this review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of effective practices that can protect soil health, safeguard water resources, and contribute to a more resilient agricultural future. Through coordinated efforts among researchers, practitioners, and policymakers, we can reduce nitrogen losses and enhance the sustainability of agricultural systems in a changing climate.
