Food is life and the global food sustainability is essential to human being survival. The global food system is highly
complex and is driven by various factors including environment, cultural, social and economic drive. It is vital to understand
these drivers and their interaction in order to help to improve the public food sustainability policies. Global polices and projects
desperately required in order improving the global food sustainability. Food sustainability is one of the unsolved global issues
and great commitment is required starting from global policy makers, national governments, and every individual home. This
research paper includes analysis and study of various elements such as global change science, policy, food crisis, factor affecting
and challenging food security, data on status and future projection and potential ways of solving problems. The goal of food
sustainability is to enable all people throughout the world to satisfy their basic needs and have a reasonable quality of life without
compromising the quality of life of future generations. Agriculture sustainability is the best solution which can feed the world
without compromising the environment or threatening human health. Scientific evidence that global environment has changed
is overwhelming and indisputable. These phenomena have a direct impact on agriculture which in turn affects food
sustainability. The food price is always toward upward trend which is validated by the periodic average global food price
monitoring report released by the Food and agricultural organizations. The factors affecting and challenging the food security
are many including increased food consumption due to population increase, uneven distribution, changes in living styles, limited
resources, environmental problems, economic problems and others. The potential ways to solve food sustainability need to be
established and implemented effectively across the world.

Climate Change and Its Impact on Agricultural Production: An Empirical Review...Premier Publishers
Agriculture, which is the mainstay of the economies of many developing countries, is highly depends on climatic conditions. This paper aimed at reviewing the climate change and its impacts on agricultural production with the specific objectives of reviewing the farmer’s adaptation strategies and barriers to the climate change and the impacts of climate change on agricultural production and food security in sub Saharan Africa countries. Empirical evidence shows that most of the smallholder famers in Sub-Saharan Africa have experienced the adaptation strategy of switching from planting high water-requirement to low water-requirement crops, planting diversified crops, changed planting dates to correspond to the change in the precipitation pattern and mixed cropping. The farmers’ ability to adapt to climate change has faced by access to information, extension services and access to credit. The effect of long-term mean climate change has significance impacts on global food production and affects all dimensions of food security in several ways ranging from direct effects on crop production to changes in markets, food prices and supply chain infrastructure which may require ongoing adaptation. Finally, effective institutions on climate change at the global level help to facilitate the policy implementations and to combat the impact of climate change.

Sustainable Development Goal 2 is hinged on achieving zero hunger, worldwide, by the year 2030. Many developing countries, especially African countries, are faced with extreme hunger often caused or compounded by bad governance, conflicts and climate change. In this paper, we review patterns of Global Hunger Index scores across Africa from 2000 to 2018 noting advances and setbacks in the fight against hunger in relation to the underlying causes of hunger in these nations, using Nigeria, the poverty capital of the world, as a case study. We also review selected policies of the Nigerian government and development partners aimed at reducing hunger in Nigeria and proffer solutions that can help actualise the target of zero hunger by 2030.

Food Security in Nigeria: Impetus for Growth and DevelopmentPremier Publishers
One of the most important and crucial debates in the world today is how to provide sufficient food for over seven billion people in the world. In 2019, 690 million people were suffering from hunger globally while about 135 million people in 55 countries and territories were suffering from acute food insecurity with Africa accounting for 73 million of this figure. Food insecurity is one of the major challenges of most African governments occasioned by an increasing number of people living in extreme poverty, high-level corruption, incidences of conflicts/terrorism, low level of human capital and unfavorable climate change in the region. Nigeria has the highest number of people living in extreme poverty globally. The Global Food Security Index (GFSI) rank of Nigeria has been on the increase since 2013 while it was ranked 94th among 113 countries in 2019. Nigeria is facing the challenge of food insecurity, especially in the northeastern and north-central states where conflicts/insurgency, kidnapping, armed banditry, cattle rustling and weather extremes are aggravating the food insecurity situation. This paper therefore recommends that the Nigerian government should redouble efforts aimed at improving food production and processing activities to ensure food security across the states and also boost exports.

Changes in climate affects the land and farming immensely. Due to this,the crop growth is affected and results in inadequacy of seasonal crop outcome which does not meet the demands of the living beings. Hence, Climatic change has become a chief issue to be looked forth in order to prevent further threatenings to the livelihood. I have made a gist of the existing issue on climate changes and the insecurities of food resources in India.
Attaining sustainable agricultural development in any economy indubitably points towards ensuring improved quality of life and enough food for both present and future generations. The need to understand the links between agricultural output and health outcomes necessitates an inquiry to ascertain the extent the changes in health outcomes can influence agricultural output. This study using the dynamic error correction built an econometric model such that mortality rate and life expectancy are proxies for health outcomes while agricultural output is the dependent variable; HIV/AIDS is the dummy. Results showed that HIV/AIDS has lethal effects on health outcomes and aggregate output. It revealed that health outcomes also have significant impact on agricultural output potentials; and there is a causal relationship between health outcomes and agricultural output in Nigeria. This implies that if the healthcare system in Nigeria can be taken as a policy priority, a tremendous increase in the agricultural sector is unarguably expected. A simultaneous front involving both the public and private sectors in extending the healthcare services is necessary to enable workers and prospective workers access to healthcare delivery; this will invariably boost the agricultural output.

Impacts of climate change on nutrition security in Developing countriesMahouli Elvire Goubalan
Hunger and malnutrition are already burdens for children and women in most of developing countries. Climate change will likely increase these issues because it is affecting all the dimensions of nutrition security. It can lead to crisis, conflicts and destabilize our countries.

Climate change and its impact on human-environment are immeasurable because of its multidimensional effects. But the effect is not same for all countries, it depends on the countries geographical settings. Alongside location, education of the people, environmental awareness, somewhat might minimize the probability of loss in response to any kinds of disasters. Undertaken study was conducted based on an extensive published literatures (197—between 1995 and 2018) review with a view to consolidating the possible impacts of climate change on crop production in Bangladesh. It has found that already the impact has begun badly in Bangladesh. Temperature is gradually rising, frequency of floods, river bank erosion, storm surge, magnitude of cyclone, salinity intrusion, and the volatility of rainfall has increased comparing to past. All these led to the probability of decreasing the crop production. As climate change has become a great concern for countries food security, it is now the appropriate time to take and install proper rules and regulations through inflexible attitude. With the help of various international and national organizations government of Bangladesh inordinately trying to reduce the consequences of climate change. A comprehensive measurement must make sure to enhance the capability of encountering climate change, otherwise it will cost of enormous loss, especially on agriculture in Bangladesh.

2. “Human security means, first, safety from
such chronic threats as hunger, disease and
repression. And second, it means protection
from sudden and hurtful disruptions in the
patterns of daily life”
(UNDP 1994; Page 23)
In the context of South Asian countries, there
are at least two components of human security
that are likely to be affected severely by climate
change ---- food security and health security
3. Climate Change and South Asia
• Climate Change Vulnerability Index 2010,
computed by Maple-croft, out of 170
Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan were
ranked as 1st, 2nd, 4th and 16th most
vulnerable countries in the planet
• In Asia, temperatures are expected to increase
by 0.5-2.0oC by 2030 and by 1-7oC by 2070
• Global Sea level is expected to rise by 3-16 cm
by 2030 and 7-50 cm by 2070 (IPCC, 2007)
4. ----
• South Asian economies have a low
capacity for disaster management.
• During flood 2010 in Pakistan, around
2,000 people were reported to have died
and an equal number of people injured; a
figure that is extremely high compared to
only 20 that died in the worst flooding of
Australia (Asian Development Bank,
2010).
5. Food Security and Climate Change
“food security exists when all people, at all
times, have physical and economic
access to sufficient, safe and nutritious
food that meets their dietary needs and
food preferences for an active and healthy
life”
World Food Summit, FAO (1996)
6. Continued….
• Almost all the South Asian countries,
except India, are net food importers and
food insecurity exists in many South Asian
countries.
• It is estimated that around 40 percent of
the world’s hungry population lives in
South Asia (IFPRI, 2010)
7. Continued….
• Over the years many developing countries have
made significant progress regarding hunger
reduction
• South Asian countries still lag far behind in food
security.
• Armenia and Chile are able to achieve MDG 1;
i.e. halving extreme poverty and hunger by
2015. Peru, Ethiopia, and many other
developing countries are on track. But, South
Asian countries like Bangladesh, India and
Pakistan lag far behind in comparison to the rest
of the world (FAO, 2010).
8. Continued….
• Changes in temperature, precipitation and
frequency and severity of extreme events
like droughts, floods, and wind storms
negatively affect the crop and livestock
yields.
• However, carbon dioxide is essential for
plant production; it’s rising concentrations
due to climate change (greenhouse gas
emission) may be helpful in enhancing the
agricultural productivity (Adams et al,
1998).
9. Continued….
• Climate change affect the food security
through the dimension of food availability,
the reduction in production and supply of
food items has an inflationary impact, it
results in affecting their accessibility to
food markets
• Heat waves across the Indian Sub-
Continent during 2005 resulted in reducing
the agricultural yields by 10 to 40 percent
of the harvests for that year (Mahmood,
2008).
10. Health Security and Climate Change
• Climate Change is expected to affect at
least two basic requirements for
maintaining good health: clean air and
water
11. Continued….
• Heat waves are likely to increase the risk of
heat related morbidity and mortality
• WHO estimated that approximately 140,000
annual excess deaths will be caused due to
increase in temperature during 1970-2044.
• In India, during 1980-98, eighteen heat
waves were reported, out of which heat
wave of 1998 has affected ten states and
caused 1,300 deaths (Confalonieri 2007).
12. Continued….
• Rising temperatures and humidity levels
will increase the transmission of vector-
borne diseases such as Malaria, Dengue
Fever, Yellow Fever etc.
• Studies predict that an increase of 3-4 oC in
average temperatures may double the
reproduction rate of Dengue virus (World
Bank, 2010)
13. Continued….
• Flooding increases the risk of drowning and
physical injury in addition to water-borne
infectious diseases such as diarrhea, Hepatitis
and cholera
• Climate change may also result in droughts in
some regions it result in food insecurity and
increase in malnutrition rates particularly in low
income countries.
• As health is directly associated with income
and livelihood of people, so any shock to the
income through extreme weather events is
14. Empirical Analysis
• Panel data spanning over 1972-2009 for
the selected South Asian Countries i.e.
Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, and Sri
Lanka has been used
• To estimate the model Seemingly
Unrelated Regression (SUR) has been
used
• Three different specifications are applied

17. • Inflation by reducing the people capacity
to purchasing health services and food
items negatively affects the health and
food security
• Per capita GDP has a positive impact on
food and health indicators
• Openness by creating awareness and
increased availability of food across the
borders has significant and positive impact
on food and health security.
18. • Food security is most badly affected by a
reduction in precipitation in comparison to a
rise in temperature
• However, for the health indicators both raise
in temperature as well as a rise in
precipitation negatively affect the health
security. It is also noteworthy here that
climate change has more severe effects on
the food security as compared to health
security.
19. Conclusions
• Study asserts that if climate change is not
controlled then food and health security of
the South Asia will be reduced.
• However, South Asian countries alone can
do very little in controlling the climate change
as their share is limited in GHGs emission in
comparison to developed countries.
• Hence there is a need for a joint and
comprehensive policy regarding the adoption
of mitigation strategies to control the climate
