Hadronic decays of the Higgs boson offer powerful probes of its couplings to quarks and gluons, and will be a key focus of the physics programs at future colliders. Recent theoretical advances provide high-precision QCD predictions for observables in $H\to b\bar{b}$, $H\to c\bar{c}$, and $H\to gg$, including fixed-order and resummed results for event shapes and jet rates. These developments improve our understanding of radiation patterns in hadronic Higgs decays and sharpen prospects for precision measurements of Yukawa interactions and the strong coupling at next-generation facilities.
