Abstract

Food availability is when all people have sufficient quantities of food available on a consistent basis. Food availability is determined by food production and food trade. Climate change is a long-term change in the average weather patterns that have come to define Earth’s local, regional and global climates. Major causes of climate changes are natural factors, including changes in the sun, emissions from volcanoes, variations in Earth’s orbit and levels of carbon dioxide. Food availability and climate change impacts implies climate change and its impacts on food availability, including food chain activities from production to process, storage, distribution, and trade. These components are analyzed in FAO’s national food balance sheets, among several others. Food balance sheets provide crucial information on a country’s food system in three categories, namely domestic food supply, food utilization and per capita total food supply values. To overcome the problem climate change we should have to use a big benefits of reining in climate change, ask the government to continue climate action, take action in your community, donate to fight climate breakdown, power up on plants, top up your fitness, get your electricity from the wind and the sun and also take the train, not the plane.
