Climate change and food insecurity are two pressing global issues
with numerous negative consequences. In many ways, they are in
conflict and reinforce one another. Yet, this analysis attempts to
establish coordinated and sustainable solutions to addressing these
problems. The many reasons that both of these problems persist are
identified. International treaties and programs to combat climate
change have ultimately failed and efforts to address food
insecurity have been insufficient, despite increases in
agricultural production. The evolution and influences of
international food aid, agricultural development, and globalization
are discussed to support these findings. Sustainable agricultural
development is offered as the pathway forward to increasing
agricultural yields while protecting the environment using
sustainable intensification, precision farming and agroecology.
Impediments to finding solutions include defective policies,
economic inefficiencies, and unfavorable modes of development.
Nevertheless, the programs such as the U.S. Feed the Future program
could eventually lead the way in addressing food security in
conjunction with political and societal will.
