Context & Background

The global food system significantly contributes to climate change through carbon emissions. This article reviews how policies affect food affordability and supply, focusing on climate change and cuisine.

Scope & Motivation

Analyzing 123 articles on the agricultural supply chain, it explores strategies to address affordability and supply challenges. Rising global temperatures threaten food stability, highlighting the importance of agricultural policies in lowering production costs and improving farmer resilience and motivation to ensure a more sustainable and secure food system.

Major findings with hypothesis, methods & results

Climate change manifests diverse effects, including food security in regions less reliant on agriculture, with rainfall patterns being significant in northern and central areas. The food production process, a significant contributor to the industry's carbon emissions, exacerbates global warming. Thus, minimizing this carbon footprint is imperative for achieving sustainable development goals.

The transition towards low-carbon footprint food is influencing environmental, economic, and policy dimensions. Achieving low-carbon future in food production and consumption requires a comprehensive approach.

Conclusion

Food choices significantly impact the environmental footprint of the food system, intertwining with climate change, land use, and dietary habits. Effective mitigation policie sare crucial for future economic prosperity. Sustainable diets emerge as a critical global issue in the 21^st century, with excess production of high-energy foods juxtaposed with insufficient output of fruits and vegetables. Despite these challenges, global agriculture can meet the current world population's dietary needs with its existing production capacity.
