Climate change and food crisis

Abstract

Since the beginning of humanity, agricultural production has depended on climate conditions, and although technology has enabled significant advances in productivity, agriculture remains vulnerable to extreme weather events that cause shortages, inflation, and hunger, especially in poor countries. This situation is worsened by the growing global demand for food driven by population and economic growth in countries like China and India, as well as by factors such as oil prices, agricultural subsidies, financial speculation, and biofuel production. In the face of this complex food crisis, comprehensive policies are needed to promote a new agricultural revolution based on sustainable technologies, social justice, and international cooperation to ensure food security without further degrading the environment.
