Abstract:

The interface between Climate Change and Food Security has been highlighted in sustainable development agenda since the early 1990s. Since then, studies have shown that climate change has negative effects on food security, potentialized by poverty and social inequality. The aim of this article is to conduct a review about climate change and food security. The research was carried out in PubMed using the descriptors climate change and food security in the title, ing only articles in Portuguese, Spanish and English and those with direct relationship with the topics. The main impacts of climate change on food security were observed on access, production, nutritional quality and food prices. Strategies for mitigation/adaptation to climate change’s effects on food security have also been mentioned by authors. A geographical view of publications showed a supremacy of studies conducted in Africa and Asia, continents with high social inequality and poverty levels. Climate change affects food security’s dimensions, especially among poor population and those facing social inequality situations. The relevance of the topic raises the need of improving investments in public policies, studies and researches about the topic around the world.
