“…The combustion of fossil fuels will increase anthropogenic conditions that will further exacerbate the issue of climate change and its consequences, i.e., food security [48]. This is because elevated levels of carbon dioxide can cause "protein content [in grain quality to decrease] by 10-14% in non-leguminous grain crops and concentrations of minerals, such as iron and zinc [to] decrease by 15-30%" ( [49], p. 109).…”

Abstract:The issue of climate change has been gaining widespread attention and concern as it has the ability to directly/indirectly affect our standard of living and quality of life. It has often been postulated that changes in climate would have a vast effect on food production systems and that food security might be threatened due to increasing climate change. However, it seems that research on climate change and food in/security has often been one-sided; with climate change being identified as the cause of food insecurity and not how the systems in place to ensure food security have exacerbated the issue of climate change. This paper thus seeks to give a more balanced view and thus understanding of the complex relationship between climate change and food security by critically examining both systems.

“…These changes have had a significant impact on water resources and food security in the country. One of the most significant impacts of climate change on water resources in Nigeria is the reduction in the availability of freshwater [2]. This is due to changes in rainfall patterns, which have led to more frequent and severe droughts in some regions.…”

This study aimed to investigate the perceptions of residents in the Taraba region of Nigeria on the impacts of climate change on water resources and its effect on food security. Respondents were asked to indicate their level of agreement with a series of statements related to these issues. The results of the study showed that a majority of respondents strongly agreed or agreed that climate change is affecting water resources in the region (75% total) and that water scarcity is impacting food security (80% total). However, respondents were less positive about the effectiveness of government efforts to address these issues, with a majority strongly disagreeing or disagreeing that the government is effectively addressing the impacts of climate change on water resources (55% total). Respondents also did not believe that community efforts are helping to mitigate the impacts of climate change on water resources. The majority (60%) were neutral about increasing access to water resources would improve food security in the region.
