Climate vagaries will shape food security (Hindustan Times) 

Hindustan, in this article, examined how ongoing and varied changes in climate will affect future food security in India. This year, changes in crop production patterns due to weather changes like an unusual heatwave in the spring ruined wheat crops and trimmed yields. These changes in climate affect regional and national politics, global geopolitics, and consumers’ food prices. The International Food Policy Research Institute’s 2022 Global Food Policy Report suggested that the climate crisis may push many Indians into famine by 2030 by crimping farm productivity and disrupting the food supply chain. This reinforces the wisdom that the problems posed by the climate crisis need to be tackled both nationally and internationally. The government will need to invest in better, more sensitive forecasting systems that can generate robust data, and safeguard cultivators from sudden shocks. Internationally, mechanisms for climate finance will also need to take into account the impact on food and crop production, and respond with funds and technology.
