Abstract

The global economy is in danger because of how climate change is altering the world's food systems and posing serious risks to food security. The food supply chain is vulnerable to unfavorable climatic circumstances like droughts, floods, and other extreme weather events, which can result in crop losses, decreased yields, and fluctuating food prices. Other elements, such as population increase, shifting food trends, and poor infrastructure in underdeveloped nations, add to these effects. Food production and distribution are both impacted by the multifaceted climate change’s effect on food systems. Nutritional quality and crop yields are declining because of climate change's changes to the growing environment. Sea-level rise and extreme weather also have an impact on fish and other aquatic resource output. Hunger, malnutrition, and food insecurity may result from climate change’s effect on food systems. The world's food systems are seriously threatened by climate change. The food system’s vulnerability to climate change must be reduced through mitigation and adaptation measures. These techniques can include creating crops that are resistant to climate change, better water management, and making the food systems more resilient to extreme weather. Achieving food security globally and lowering poverty requires addressing the climate change’s effect on food systems.
