Bangladesh's food security is now under extreme threat due to climate change and decreasing arable land. A recent study by BIDS has revealed alarming data. Rising temperatures are reducing the income and productivity of agricultural workers, which is a major blow to the country's economy. WATCH: Food Security Threatened by Climate Change| Food Security Crisis| Climate Change| Farming Crisis- Daily Jaijaidin Dec 3 in Bangla[Daily Jaijaidin one of the premier Bangladesh news portals]

TRANSCRIPT:

Climate change is not just an environmental issue, but also a threat to global food systems. What are the implications for food security and sustainability?

The world's top scientists warned that climate change could lead to a global food crisis. With crop yields declining by up to 25% by 2050, the impact on crops is a major concern. Rising temperatures, changing precipitation patterns, and increased frequency of extreme weather events are affecting crop yields, quality, and diversity. For example, a study by the University of California found that climate change has already led to a 10% decline in global wheat yields. Water scarcity is another challenge. The World Bank estimates that by 2025, half of the world's population will live in water scarce areas-

-making it difficult to irrigate crops. In Australia, for instance, droughts have led to a significant decline in agricultural production resulting in food shortages and price increases. Food price volatility is also a major issue. Climate related shocks to food systems can lead to price spikes, making food unaffordable for millions of people.

In 2011, for example, a heat wave in Russia led to a 30% increase in global wheat prices, affecting food security in many countries. Sustainable agriculture is crucial in mitigating the effects of climate change. Practices like agroforestry, conservation, agriculture, and organic farming can help sequester carbon, reduce water usage, and promote biodiversity.

In Africa, for example, farmers are using climate resilient crop varieties and conservation agriculture to improve yields and reduce soil erosion. Climate resilience is key to building a sustainable food system. This includes using climate smart agriculture, agroforestry, and other practices that help farmers adapt to climate change.

In Asia, for instance, farmers are using climate resilient rice varieties and innovative irrigation systems to reduce water usage and improve yields.

Reducing food waste and loss is also essential. An estimated one-third of all food produced globally is lost or wasted, which is equivalent to about 1.3 billion tons of food per year. In the United States, for example, food waste is estimated to be around 30 to 40% of the total food supply, which is enough to feed over 100 million people.

Global cooperation is necessary to address the impacts of climate change on food systems. International agreements like the Paris agreement can help countries work together to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote sustainable agriculture. In Europe, for instance, the European Union's common agricultural policy is promoting sustainable agriculture and reducing greenhouse gas emissions from farming.

The future outlook is uncertain. But one thing is clear, climate change will continue to affect food systems unless urgent action is taken. The world needs to come together to address this pressing issue and ensure food security and sustainability for all. In conclusion, the impact of climate change on global food systems is a pressing issue that requires immediate attention and action. We must work together to promote sustainable agriculture, reduce food waste, and build climate resilience to ensure a food secure future. END
