Abstract
Climate change seems to be larger, more complex and more unpredictable than any other environmental problem. This review deals with the economic effects of climate change on global agricultural production. The causes and consequences of climate change are very diverse, while populations in low-income countries are increasingly exposed to its negative effects. Supplying the population with food is possible with increased agricultural production, but this often occurs under unsustainable circumstances. Increased agricultural production is also one of the main sources of greenhouse gas emissions. In this research we highlight some of the important connections between climate change, population growth and agricultural production.
Highlights
The combination of the rapidly changing economic environment, unbridled competition for natural resources, and the economic crisis have posed several challenges for agricultural and food companies
The available evidence indicates that climate change is already affecting food security and agriculture in a way that makes it more difficult to eradicate famine and starvation
Populations whose living conditions are primarily based on agriculture are most at risk from hunger and food security issues caused by climate change
Summary
The combination of the rapidly changing economic environment, unbridled competition for natural resources, and the economic crisis have posed several challenges for agricultural and food companies. The food industry and the agricultural sector make a significant contribution to climate change, but are vulnerable to its effects. Extremes of climate change are expected to adversely affect the four pillars of food security – availability, access, utilization and stability – and their interactions. The available evidence indicates that climate change is already affecting food security and agriculture in a way that makes it more difficult to eradicate famine and starvation. Heavy rainfall and drought are increasingly likely to occur in the same area (Masson-Delmotte et al 2018) These changes are increasingly affecting human systems and food production around the world. Climate change has far-reaching and multidimensional effects, where multiple areas are strongly connected. This research aims to review the different areas and their connections in terms of climate change impacts
