Food security and climate change

I recently watched this video highlighting the link between climate change and food insecurity in West Africa. The news clip explores a number of different aspects of this link, talking about drought and flood resistant crops, whether climate change is seen as a big issue and the effect of climate change on Africa relative to the rest of the world. A key point raised was that incidents of climate related issues in sub-Saharan Africa have gone up tenfold over the last 30 years. The impacts of climate change are going to have the greatest impacts on Africa and this means food security is going to be severely affected.
