Climate change risks for import-dependent and major food-producing countries

Watch the replay of our September 24, 2024 webinar.

Extreme weather events are increasingly disrupting agricultural production and markets. However, agricultural trade can help address related food security concerns. With a focus on cereals — rice, wheat and corn — this discussion will explore the findings of IATP's recent report, which sheds light on the complex relationships between trade and food security. We will also discuss how human-made disruptions, such as the war in Ukraine and bans on exports by some major food producers like India, further strain the global food supply chain and increase costs of food. While highlighting regional developments, we will cover how agricultural trade could help mitigate the risks of climate change and strengthen food security. Join academic experts and practitioners as they exchange ideas on the study and management of the ways in which climate change will affect agricultural production and trade and how these risks can be mitigated.
