Climate change effects on global food security

1. What is the relationship between climate change and water availability for agriculture?

A) Climate change can lead to both water scarcity and water excess, affecting agriculture.
B) Climate change reduces water scarcity but increases crop production.
C) Climate change has no impact on water availability.
D) Climate change only results in increased water availability for agriculture.

2. How does climate change impact global food security for vulnerable populations?

A) It ensures food security for all populations equally.
B) It has no impact on vulnerable populations.
C) It exacerbates food insecurity for vulnerable populations.
D) It decreases food prices, benefiting vulnerable populations.

3. What role do bees play in food security and how is it affected by climate change?

A) Bees are essential pollinators for many crops, and their decline due to climate change threatens food production.
B) Bees only help produce honey.
C) Bees are not important for food security.
D) Bees thrive in all climate conditions.

4. How does climate change contribute to the spread of crop diseases and pests?

A) Changing weather has no effect on pests and diseases.
B) Climate change reduces the incidence of crop diseases.
C) Pests and diseases do not adapt to changing conditions.
D) Warmer temperatures and changing rainfall patterns create conditions more favorable for pests and diseases.

5. What is the impact of climate change on livestock production?

A) Climate change has no impact on livestock.
B) Livestock thrive in all climate conditions.
C) Climate change results in decreased demand for livestock products.
D) Increases stress on livestock due to extreme heat and changes in water availability.

6. Which region is particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change on food security?

A) United States
B) Sub-Saharan Africa
C) Australia
D) Scandinavia

7. How do extreme weather events, such as floods and droughts, affect food production?

A) Extreme weather events always increase food production.
B) They only affect non-agricultural industries.
C) They have no impact on food production.
D) They can lead to crop failures and decrease food availability.

8. What role does technology play in addressing climate change impacts on global food security?

A) Technology can help improve agricultural practices, enhance food production, and adapt to changing climate conditions.
B) Using technology worsens climate change impacts.
C) Technology has no relevance to food security.
