Abstract

In addition to compromising food security, climate change-related extreme weather lowers urban residents' incomes and access to food. Unexpected effects of climate change on food availability are possible. This review paper aims to investigate how climate change affects the availability of food. Climate change can have a wide range of effects on agricultural systems, making it more challenging to sustainably produce enough food and inexpensive, nutrient-dense food. We must broaden our narrow focus from increasing yield and plant productivity to take into account the impact of climate change on the nutritional content of food crops in order to fully comprehend how climate change is affecting our world's food supply. Proactive adaptation can boost capacity to manage climate change by integrating climate change in long-term decision-making and eliminating disincentives to adjust behaviour in response to climate change.
