2、 restricted movement, and limited adapted storages facilities for fresh agricultural products, which lead to post harvest losses 3. In addition, disrupted food chains, economic disruptions and vulnerability mean most jobs do not ensure sufficient levels of income for workers to afford adequate food

These factors also lead to fluctuations in the agricultural market for both inputs and outputs when disaster and climate management policies and technical capacity in support of agriculture are limited under a changing climate. Combined, these risks result in lower

Furthermore, as documented in the CBD/WHO 2015 Report, the spread of pathogens is exacerbated by climate change, ecosystem destruction, land use change, def

The efficiencies of global trade have paved the way for increasingly uniform farming systems and removed the firebreaks of biodiversity.

In a post COVID-19 context, climate change will amplify existing stress on water availability and will interact with non-climate drivers and stressors (gender inequality, youth unemployment, illiteracy, conflict, and political instability) to exacerbate the vulnerability of agricultural systems wh
