At the international level, cereals are considered important foods for economic development; corn, wheat and rice represent some of the crops with the highest consumption and production, so their participation in aspects of food security is also decisive; nevertheless, the cereal sector faces one of the greatest current challenges, Climate Change, a phenomenon that has caused food insecurity due to the loss of production, yield and quality in crops; a situation that by the year 2050, if the adaptation and mitigation are not achieved, according to global forecasts will bring greater consequences. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to review the literature that offers a global overview of the trends related to the strategies and technologies implemented in the sector, which strengthen their competitiveness and contribute to maintaining profitability
