Climate Change and Their Impact on Food Security
Surendra Kumar Maurya*, Ambrish Singh, Pragya Mehta, Mitrasen Maurya, Suneel Verma
Abstract
The extensive impact of climate change on food security and presents strategies for alleviating its effects. Climate change leads to alterations in temperature and precipitation patterns, which disturb agricultural systems and result in diminished crop yields. It also has repercussions for freshwater resources, disproportionately impacting vulnerable communities, especially smallscale farmers who depend on rain-fed agriculture. Moreover, global fisheries are being disturbed, affecting the accessibility of marine protein sources. To tackle these challenges, a comprehensive approach is essential, encompassing climate-resilient agriculture, enhanced water management, and social safety measures. International collaboration and efforts to reduce emissions are of paramount importance. In essence, climate change represents a significant menace to food security, underscoring the necessity for coordinated actions across all levels to ensure a sustainable and resilient food supply for the expanding global population.
