Prioritizing Climate Change Adaptation Needs for Food Security in 2030
David B. Lobell,David B. Lobell,Marshall Burke,Claudia Tebaldi,Michael D. Mastrandrea,Walter P. Falcon,Rosamond L. Naylor +6 more
TL;DR: Results indicate South Asia and Southern Africa as two regions that, without sufficient adaptation measures, will likely suffer negative impacts on several crops that are important to large food-insecure human populations.

Global food security under climate change
TL;DR: It is found that of the four main elements of food security, i.e., availability, stability, utilization, and access, only the first is routinely addressed in simulation studies, indicating the potential for further negative impacts beyond those currently assessed with models.
