Impacts of climate change on agriculture and food security

Abstract

The present study focused on a review of the literature to show the impacts that Climate Change generates in Agriculture and Food Security of many producing families in Central America, particularly Nicaragua and especially those belonging to the so-called dry corridor where the effects They are more severe. It should be mentioned that the various climate changes that have occurred in the last years 2012-2015 mainly temperature and precipitation have had very negative consequences on livelihoods and particularly in agriculture, which has put at risk the availability of food and the access of water from producers and producers creating economic, social, and environmental instability.
Therefore, knowing our threats, vulnerabilities, identifying risks and monitoring climate behavior is key in making wise decisions in the agricultural sector in the face of diverse climatic variants, on the other hand, establishing adaptation strategies as part of rural education that help improve productivity, ensure access to water and food, is also essential to reduce economic, physical and human losses.
We agree with the position of the government being consistent with the recognition of the main components of climate risk. It is about achieving the ability to reduce, reduce or eliminate exposure to hazards, the ability to improve, highlight or maximize the endogenous properties of vulnerability and
capacity to generate knowledge, conscience, behaviors and habits that allow facing events and recovering from their effects.
