Climate, population, food security: adapting and evolving in times of global change

ABSTRACT

This journal article explores local and global impacts and responses to climate change. There is a significant need to maintain sustainable food security for present and future populations. Climate change and global population food security are interdependent. Emerging issues that will shape the future of the global population through support from sustainable agriculture are explored. The focus also addresses emerging agriculture technology. Increases in global population pose the possibility that traditional food sources may not be sufficient to sustain future populations over the long term. It is also possible that global populations could significantly decline even though global populations currently continue to maintain food security. All and all, food security could conceivably be balanced to achieve a level of sustainable available food, supplying the sustainable future populations of the world. There is hope.
