Climate change and food systems: global assessments and implications for food security and trade

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN has launched a publication "Climate change and food systems: global assessments and implications for food security and trade" collecting the findings of a group of scientists and economists who have taken stock of climate change impacts on food and agriculture at global and regional levels over the past two decades. The evidence presented describes how global warming will impact where and how food is produced and discusses the significant consequences for food security, health and nutrition, water scarcity and climate adaptation. The book also highlights the implications for global food trade. The different analyses in the book paint a comprehensive perspective linking climate change to food, nutrition, water, and trade along with suggested policy responses.
