Abstract

Climate change is the most dangerous and existing in every of the world including where whether suitable for live or not. Before, a century the headache of climate change impact is very low and focused on industrialization. As economy and civilization rising up, the population number double, tripled or dramatically increased in developing countries with less family planning technology. The fuel of climate change is over population, less improved conservation technology and less climate smart legacy. Several developed countries reached adaptation strategy than mitigation, while in developing countries challenging with mitigation, and even awareness creation about the climate change. Thus, orphan crops conservation and cultivation practices plays significant role in to overcome the challenge may happened due to climate change such as genetic erosion adaptation problems and technology development. Spider plant is very smart crop majorly found in different African countries of orphan species. It is used for several problems and exceptional characters. It is uses as sources of food, income, medicinal values, and more adapted at low moisture areas by escaping with methods of short life span and high water use efficiency. However, the improvements activities through breeding and agronomic practices still very on infant stage. Therefore, this review gives some importance of the crop, its history of improvements and future opportunity to improve the spider plant.
