To synthesize the multifaceted mechanisms through which climate change impairs food and nutrition security and present an integrated framework of cascading vulnerabilities across global food systems.
Synthesized global scientific literature on the impacts of climate stressors across terrestrial and marine food production sectors.
Evaluated interconnected pathways linking environmental degradation, post-harvest operations, nutritional quality dilution, and socio-economic distribution networks.
Climate stressors destabilize crop production through extreme weather, shifting precipitation patterns, soil health decline, and pollinator collapse, while warming and acidification disrupt marine ecosystems.
Elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide levels drive nutrient dilution in crops, compounding heat-induced declines in livestock and fish quality alongside elevated food safety risks.
Climate shocks generate food price volatility, supply chain disruptions, and migration, amplifying socioeconomic inequality and narrowing access to nutrient-dense food.
