Descripción
Are there limits to our ability to adapt food systems to climate change? This overview paper for the special issue highlights results of research on potential limits and responses by food system actors. Responses are shaped by the critical interactions among the physical, chemical, biological, and social impacts in food systems arising from climate change. Food grains, temperate perennials, livestock, and oceanic capture fisheries and farming are covered. Climate change impacts on the biology of plants, animals, and humans, as well as the options for societal responses are explored. The results show where and how possible adaptations will be limited.
