Global climatic change has resulted in new and unpredictable
patterns of precipitation and temperature, the increased frequency
of extreme weather events and rising sea levels. These changes
impact all four aspects of food security - availability,
accessibility, stability of supply and appropriate nourishment - as
well as the entire food system - food production, marketing,
processing, distribution and prices. Climate Change and Food
Security focuses on the challenge to food security posed by a
changing climate. The book brings together many of the critical
global concerns of climate change and food security through local
cases based on empirical studies undertaken in Sub-Saharan Africa
and the Caribbean. Focusing on risk reduction and the complex
nature of vulnerability to climate change, the book includes
chapters on the responsiveness of farmers based on traditional
knowledge, as well as the critical phenomenon of food insecurity in
the urban setting. Other chapters are devoted to efforts made to
strengthen resilience through long-term development, with
interventions at the regional and national levels of scale. It also
examines cross-cutting themes that underlie the strategies employed
to achieve food security, including equity, gender, livelihoods and
governance. This edited volume will be of great interest to
students and scholars of climate change, food security,
environmental management and sustainable development.
