Politics for Food Security and Climate Changes

Global changes affect food systems in different ways: from direct effects on agricultural production, to changes in markets, food prices and supply chain infrastructure. However, the relative importance of climate change for food security differs between regions. Experts agree that negative food security impacts will be inequitably distributed in regional terms, with Africa as particular concern; sub-Saharan Africa is the world's poorest region, and that with the highest rate of undernourishment. Improved systems of food production, distribution and access at a global scale will all contribute to design food systems adapted to cope with climate change, but in adopting such transition it will be important to ensure their effective equality and sustainability. © 2023 Elsevier Inc.
