Abstract:
Climate change mitigation is critical for a sustainable food system. Agricultural productivity is affected by climate change due to increased temperature, altered rainfall patterns, as well as more frequent extreme weather conditions. These events endanger the structural stability of food production. This study examines the urgent need for climate-resilient agriculture infrastructure for food security. It addresses renewable energy technologies in agriculture with agrivoltaics as a promising option for resilience. It also incorporates the impacts of climate change on supply chains, advocating for comprehensive adaptation plans. The role of technology, policy and economic incentives, disaster preparedness, community engagement, and capacity building are emphasised. The study recommends integrated policy structures, funding technological innovation, adaptable extension services, public-private partnerships, regular research, and adaptive policy management to achieve climate-resilient food systems for sustainable food security and social equity
