The link between food security and climate, originally by Kanayo F. Nwanze, the President of the UN International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD).
Many might think that there is some kind of a trade off between producing more food and saving the environment or the climate. This is not the case, at least according to Kanayo F. Nwanze. One of the thing the world should try and do is help small farmers to become more resilient to climate changes, that way the smaller farmers will be able to achieve two important things: Produce more food and make sure that it is sustainable to the ever changing environment.
The need to help smallholder farms to produce more food is crucial, in the near future there might be more mouths to feed then food if the farmers won’t be able to learn how to adjust to the environment changes.
Fossil fuel leads to world starvation?
According to FAO if the food industry will keep its dependency on fossil fuels there is a huge chance there won’t be enough food for the the world’s growing population. FAO recommend to the food industry to start using other energy sources then fossil fuels , the reasons are quite straight-forward:
- High and fluctuating prices - Doubts over future availability - Politics
The danger in putting a whole industry reliance on one energy source is simple – once that energy source is compromised or worst – gone, the whole industry that relied on that energy source might disappear as well. When it comes to food, this is something we can’t afford.
