Potential impacts of climate change on food security dimensions

	Impact on food security outcomes
Climate-induced hazards	Food availability	Food accessibility	Food utilization	Food stability
Increase in temperatures	Reduced crops and livestock products and effect on local markets	Impacts incomes, prices affordability and changes in preference	Dehydration and illness from eating spoiled food	Higher cost for storing grain and perishable products
Incidences of drought	Declines in production, wild foods, decrease in food exports/increase imports and increased need for food aid	Increase in food prices, decline income and preferred foods not available or too costly	Dietary adjustments and inability of body to process food due to diseases	Greater instability of food supply, prices and based incomes
Changes in precipitation (timing, location and amount)	Some local losses virtually certain, but distribution is unknown	Full-cost pricing for water may cause food prices to rise		Greater instability of food supply
Incidence high wind, storm and floods	Decrease surplus production and increase emergency food distribution	Increase in food prices and possible loss of farm income and non-farm employment	Food safety is decline and inability of body to process food due to diseases
