Food security and climate variations are the major concerns affecting global community in adverse manner. Climate change is one of the greatest challenges faced by the global community today. Impact of climate change is severe. Each degree of rise in the global mean temperature is associated with threat to life, economy and also food security. This paper reviews the literature conducted by researchers focusing on climate change and its impact on Food security. The review has shown that myriad of studies focuses on the impact of climate change on food security. The paper urges for a need to study the adaption and approaches for climate change which includes climate smart agriculture. The approaches will manage the landscapes, improve productivity, enhanced resiliency and reduced emissions of greenhouse gases. Ensuring food security in the face of climate change will be challenge and hence suggests the practice of sustainable agricultural practices along with climate smart agriculture.
