Food and Climate Change
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Global climate change presents one of the greatest and most complex issues that humankind is facing today. According to the UN, climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns, which may be natural or human induced. Climate change and associated severe weather events, extreme temperatures, intense droughts, water scarcity, fires, floods, rising sea levels, pests and diseases are already threatening all the ecosystems on our planet, with increasing concern regarding its effect on food production and safety. As food production is tightly connected with weather, the rapidly changing climate is placing agriculture as one of the sectors that will suffer the greatest consequences from climate change. At the same time, as climate change can distress agricultural production on different levels, by altering biotic (i.e., pests and diseases) or abiotic stressors (i.e., changes in precipitation, temperature, water loss, heat waves, warmer nights, etc.), the effects of climate change on food production represent an extremely complex topic.
This Special Issue welcome contributions that deal with different aspects of climate change’s effects on food: on environmental factors that may limit food production, on possible solutions for mitigating them, and on climate change’s impact on all aspects of food processing, distribution, availability, and safety. Original research articles, reviews, and short communications are welcome.
