Faced with the impacts of the climate crisis and the pandemic combined with rapid population growth, our food systems are under pressure like never before. The growing frequency and intensity of natural disasters caused by climate change are having a devastating effect on our food security, according to a new report by the Food and Agriculture Organisation. As droughts, floods, wildfires and other extreme weather events become more common, agricultural production is jeopardised and people s lives upended especially for the 2.5 billion who rely on farming for their livelihoods. Developing countries bear the brunt of this impact, with an estimated US$108 billion lost from their economies between 2008 and 2018 as a result of disasters, according to FAO.
