Professor Elizabeth Robinson is the Director of the Grantham Research Institute. She will present her paper ‘Food security and health in a climate insecure world’.
Abstract
As countries grow economically\, as climate change becomes a reality\, and as global markets become more integrated yet more vulnerable to harvest shocks in key “breadbasket” countries\, the concept of food security has become more nuanced. In this GRI workshop I will first address the extent to which food security might be better tracked in the context of a changing climate\, with a particular focus on systemic risk in the global food system. I will then explore the extent to which we can track whether food security and under-nutrition are improving or worsening as a consequence of a changing climate\, and importantly\, to what extent we can attribute increases in food insecurity to climate change\, as proxied by temperature anomalies - annual temperature difference from mean baseline temperature.
