Climate change will continue to widen gaps in food security, new study finds (Environmental Health News) 

EHN (Environmental Health News) (Germany) published an article on a study that shows how countries already struggling with low crop yields will be hurt most by a warming climate. Nonresident Senior Fellow Ephraim Nkonya was interviewed for comment, but was not involved in the study.  He said, “The unequal burden poorer countries will face is no surprise.” Climate change, by exacerbating income and wealth inequalities, will of course widen food security disparities. Nkonya also questions whether caloric intake should be used as an indication of food security. “The current thinking is that we really need to look at a healthy diet.” However, around 60 percent of the population in sub-Saharan Africa cannot afford a healthy diet.
