Climate Change And Food Security In Ethiopia. At the same time as delivering food security we must also reduce the environmental impact of food production. Efforts are focused around the promotion of climate-smart agriculture that facilitates adaptation in cereal-based. In order to build resilience in agricultural systems in Ethiopia the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change Agriculture and Food Security CCAFS promotes innovations by tapping into the expertise of other CGIAR Research Centers as well as other national and regional research networks. A study by Gutu Bezabih and Mengistu 2012 reveals that in Ethiopia food production faces severe challenges due to climate change noting that the annual production losses to climate variability significantly increase from year to year.
Agricultural determinants of food security are broadly defined as all effects of climate change on food production and its process. As such Ethiopia has been experiencing the impacts of both climate variability and change. The model shows that the food security gap in Ethiopia is expected to be greater with climate change than the food security gap without climate change. Ethiopias government appears well aware of the risks it faces and has put in place a battery of policies to address the countrys scarcity challenge. Climate abnormalities such as perpetual droughts floods heat waves and rainfall failure can have devastating consequences for agricultural production and the impacts could be immediately transmitted to food security and. Agricultural production is sensitive to climate change and food security is sensitive to agricultural production.
There is no doughty that drought is the main driving forces in food insecurity problems in Ethiopia many more other disaster that contribute to food deterioration related to currently weather and climate changesThe 21 were reviewed different studies that have been done on deteriorating situation of food insecurity in Ethiopia.
However quantitative evidence is lacking about the ability of farm-level adaptation options to offset the negative impacts of climate change and to improve food security. Food security concerns Food security is defined as a situation when all. We rely on a farm level survey of 1000 farms carried out in Ethiopia in 2005. There is no doughty that drought is the main driving forces in food insecurity problems in Ethiopia many more other disaster that contribute to food deterioration related to currently weather and climate changesThe 21 were reviewed different studies that have been done on deteriorating situation of food insecurity in Ethiopia. The model also shows the potential of family planning to address this gap. No one can deny the effect of climate change as one of the factors that have led to the current food crisis.
