Over a billion people around the world are undernourished today because they
lack easy, consistent and reliable access to affordable source of food.
Changing climatic conditions and unsustainable bioenergy development are
projected to affect food security through their impact on food systems at all
scales, from single household to global. This book presents some fundamental
issues, challenges and concepts in order to improve policy-makers
understandings of and preparations for coping with both the causes and the
impacts of climate change on food security. The book elaborates on the
critical considerations including basic ecological principles, assessment of
impacts, vulnerabilities, invisible boundaries and suggestions for short-term
and long-term policy options, as well as policy-driven strategic thinking for
adaptation to and mitigation of climate change.
