Climate change and food security in Africa

Climate effects of climate change on the availability, usability, and accessibility of food supplies in Africa are referred to as climate change and food security in Africa. The agricultural industry in Africa is experiencing the impacts of climate change, which are manifesting as reduced crop yields, animal mortality, and increased food prices. The global climate is changing as a result of both human activity and natural variability, according to reports. The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) highlights in its definition that climate change is caused by human activity, either directly or indirectly. Climate change at the global, continental, and sub-continental levels has been observed to include an increase in air and ocean temperatures, sea-level rise, a decrease in snow and ice extent, an increase and decrease in precipitation, changes in terrestrial and marine biological systems, and ocean acidification. Africa's agriculture and climate change are strongly related, Millions of people in Africa depend on the agricultural industry for their economic well-being and means of subsistence. Yet a variety of climate change-related factors such as altered rainfall patterns, rising temperatures, droughts, and floods are having a negative impact on the agricultural industry. Many African populations access to food is being impacted by these effects, which include decreasing crop yields, animal losses, and rising food prices.
