The impact of climate change on food security is increasingly severe, posing significant risks to the stability of global food systems. Rising temperatures, altered precipitation patterns, and more frequent extreme weather events disrupt agricultural productivity, leading to reduced crop yields and livestock performance. These changes threaten the availability of food and exacerbate malnutrition, particularly in vulnerable populations across developing nations. Additionally, climate-induced stressors such as soil degradation, water scarcity, and increased pest and disease prevalence further compromise agricultural sustainability. Economic instability caused by fluctuating food prices intensifies the challenge, making it difficult for low-income households to access nutritious food. Effective adaptation strategies, including the development of climate-resilient crops, sustainable farming practices, and enhanced food distribution networks, are essential to mitigate these adverse effects. Coordinated global efforts and robust policy measures are crucial to address the multifaceted challenges posed by climate change and to ensure long-term food security for all populations.
