Uncovering the Research Gaps to Alleviate the Negative Impacts of Climate Change on Food Security: A Review

“…Meanwhile, there are some benefits of increased levels of CO 2 in terms of potential increment in crop production at mid-high latitudes, however, the increased concentration is causing global warming subjecting toward extreme climatic disasters. Though there exist solid evidences about the impacts of climate change on nutrition and mortality, but inevitably there are uncertainties due to limited understanding regarding the extent of climate change impacts on food security components ( Nelson et al, 2009 ; Springmann et al, 2016 ; Shoaib et al, 2021 ). Therefore, reviewing the mechanisms of impacts of climate change on all components of food security and livelihoods is necessary to alleviate the research gaps essential in fulfilling the regional food security goals.…”

“…Stability of food is greatly linked with changes in climate because climate determines the price trends for food, either long- or short-term variability in prices ( Nelson et al, 2009 ; Myers et al, 2017 ). Since last decade, small blows in the food chain either at the demand or supply side, have impacted the prices, often increasing the food prices ( Haile and Wossen, 2016 ).…”

CELL5M: A geospatial database of agricultural indicators for Africa South of the Sahara

“…, maize profitability in response to doubling fertilizer application rates). The modeling platform has been used, for example, in ex-ante impact assessments of climate change ( Nelson et al , 2009), agricultural technologies ( Rosegrant et al , 2014), and climate variability associated with regional drought ( Cervigni & Morris, 2016). CELL5M includes model-derived indicators on maize yield variability in low and high-input rainfed production systems ( Koo & Cox, 2014).…”
