Climate Change and Global Food Security

The study focused on examining the state of global food security in the context of climate change. The study reviewed 165 previous references of which 141 met the selection criteria and revealed several impacts including Higher temperatures changing agricultural areas and reducing meat dairy and seafood production. Changing rainfall patterns and droughts reduce productivity and lead to crop failure. Rising sea levels threaten coastal agriculture with saltwater intrusion. Storms and floods damage crops and disrupt food supply chains exacerbating food insecurity. The socioeconomic impacts are also evident leading to reduced agricultural productivity and higher food prices weakening rural livelihoods and contributing to migration and conflict. The study recommends combining climate mitigation strategies with strategies for adapting agriculture to changing conditions strengthening rural infrastructure promoting smart farming techniques and investing in modern machinery to enhance productivity and resource management and developing agricultural insurance and social protection measures.
