Dr Jacob Bishop of the University of Reading University talked to us about “What is global food security?”:
- future global food security which will require more than just increasing crop production
- how global food might security be impacted by climate change
- extreme weather events using past examples of food security failures as case studies
- strategies being developed to reduce the impact of climate change on food
- production and at other levels of food security
- ideas of what can be done including increasing dietary diversity to reduce reliance on single crops.
