Abstract
The global food security will face great challenge and is expected to face even greater challenge under climate change. FAO’s estimates show that the global food production should increase by at least 70% in 2050 over 2000 to meet the growing food demands (FAO 2009). However, the growth rate of agricultural productivity has been falling in recent decades. Moreover, food security in many regions in the world may face more challenge under climate change. While there will be positive and negative impacts with large uncertainty, most studies show that climate change for agriculture at global level is more harm than good (IPCC 2012). In addition to the long run climate change, rising frequency and severity of extreme events are also expected. Such long term climate change and extreme weather events will bring greater fluctuations in crop yields and food supplies and higher risks of food insecurity (IPCC 2012).
