GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -As shown above, climate change affects food production, and thus food availability. Climate change will impact the livelihoods and income of small-scale food producers and also, through food price increases and volatility, the livelihoods of poor net food buyers, restricting access to food.

Detailed explanation-2: -Unfortunately, climate change impacts, such as higher temperatures, droughts, more extreme events, sea-level rise, and elevated levels of carbon dioxide, are making the task of increased food production much more difficult by decreasing the quantity as well as the quality of our food supplies.

Detailed explanation-3: -Increased temperatures, weather variability, invasive crops and pests, and more frequent extreme weather events have all had detrimental effects on farming – from diminishing agricultural yields, to weakening the nutritional quality of produce on farms, to reducing farmer incomes.

Detailed explanation-4: -How will climate change affect future food security? a) It will have negative impacts in most developing countries because of the increased frequency of droughts, storms and floods.
