CLIMATE CHANGES EMPHASIS -- A DISTURBANCE FACTOR FOR WORLD FOOD SECURITY.

Until recently, most assessments of the impact of climate change on the food and agriculture sector have focused on the implications for production and global supply of food, with less consideration of other components of the food chain. This paper takes a broader view and explores the multiple effects that global warming and climate change could have on food systems and food security. It also suggests strategies for mitigating and adapting to climate change in several key policy domains of importance for food security. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
