Nexus Between Climate Change and Food Innovation Technology: Recent Advances

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Innovations in Food Technology

Abstract

Agriculture is a significant sector of the economy of any country. The influence of climate change on food production as it relates to agriculture varies with respect to space and time. The impacts are diverse and highly ambiguous. Innovation technology in agriculture is a significant response for effective and equitable adaptation and mitigation, and we must have to reconsider how to encourage innovation technology to address the diverse and ambiguous impacts of climate change so as to improve food production. Therefore, we have to look towards climate-smart agricultural activities via innovation technology. For climate-smart agriculture, we will require more resilience in agricultural activities and also more proficiency of resource use for both adaptation and mitigation. Undoubtedly, climate change has strong connection with agriculture. This nexus is stronger in developing countries because their means of livelihood depends mostly on agricultural activities, and these activities generally depend on climatic condition. Hence, in this chapter, we will briefly review the recent advances in agriculture with respect to the nexus between climate change and food innovation technology.
