Agriculture and climate change effects exhibit two-way causation. Agriculture contributes to climate change and is also affected by climate change. Agricultural production systems need to be continuously adjusted, so as to mitigate the climate change as well as to adapt to it to minimise the negative effects of climate change on agricultural production and food and nutritional security. In this chapter, we review the potential impact of climate change on the three dimensions of food security, namely, food availability, food accessibility and food utilisation. We also examine some adaptation measures in ameliorating the negative impacts of climate change on food security. |
