The Impact of Climate Change Adaptation Strategies on Food Security: A Global Perspective

Abstract

Climate change poses a serious threat to the agricultural sector due to its nature of being dependent on natural conditions. As a result, food productivity decreases by threatening global food security. This study aims to analyze the impact of climate change adaptation adopted by farmers on food security by providing impressions and perspectives from related studies. According previous studies, the variables of gender, education, family size, land size, livestock ownership, agricultural extension, access to credit, and climate information are factors that have a positive influence on farmers' decisions to adopt climate change strategies. Meanwhile, the age variable has a negative influence on farmers' decisions to adpot it. In addition, the results also show that the adaptation of climate change strategies has a significant impact on food security. Farmers will gain more benefits and beneficial impacts from implementing climate change adaptation that limits the negative impacts of climate change on household livelihoods in an effort to alleviate food insecurity. This study provides important insights for future research on developing climate-resilient approaches to address complex global food system challenges.
