This book assesses the vulnerability impacts of climate change on
food security by examining a 50 years scenario (2015- 2065) and
following a top-down approach. Importantly, looking at the
sustainable food production, the authors compared the cost-benefit
of adaptation costs from 2015 to 2065. It was found that a 15%
adaptation capacity is more efficient for Malaysia in order to
combat the climate change effects on the food sector. This book has
developed a quantitative adaptive model namely, the Malaysian
Climate and Economy (MCE) model, based on the dynamic Computable
General Equilibrium (CGE) modeling structure to examine food
sustainability and adaptation strategies. Malaysia experiences an
unusual combination of droughts and extreme rainfall events that
can be attributed to climate change. These unusual events and
consequences leave Malaysian policymakers looking for ways to make
Malaysia self-sufficient in terms of agriculture. It is assumed
that climate change effects may result in increasing food
insecurity and vulnerability in the future. Policy measures are in
place to lessen the likely climatic effects overall, but there is
an urgent need to develop an adaptation policy for the future.
