Abstract

This study was conducted to review the impact of climate change on the food production and food security of Pakistan. It further explored the climate risks for vulnerable populations and suggested interventions for adaptation and mitigation of climate-related risks. The study finds that climate change is a global problem which poses serious threat to the security and prosperity of the world. Despite being a global problem, its impacts will be felt unequally across various regions of the world. These impacts are likely to be felt more severely in developing countries like Pakistan. Climate change has become one of the biggest problems for Pakistan by threatening our water resources. The findings indicate that we need strong adaptation and mitigation efforts to prevent the worst impacts of climate change on our food production and food security system. The study also suggests that raising awareness among farming communities, the agencies and stake holders involved in agricultural supply chains is critical to implement adaptation policies and impact mitigation strategies.
