Impact of Climate Change and Bioenergy on Nutrition | | type | | Link | | language | | English | | date | | 14 Oct 08 | | description | Paper by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI)
In addition to climate change and rising bioenergy demand, the following factors will
constrain efforts to reduce malnutrition in the coming years:
• demographic forces;
• widespread land degradation and scarcity of fresh water resources, resulting from
both bad management practices, inappropriate land uses for a certain land class and
impacts from climate change and extreme climate variations;
• structural shifts in the food and agricultural system;
• transboundary movement of diseases;
• environmental and energy pressures.
