Abstract

Climate change and variability may affect the incidence of food safety risks at different levels of the food chain, from basic production through consumption. Changes in temperature and precipitation patterns, increasing frequency and severity of severe weather events, ocean warming and acidification, and changes in pollutants’ transport routes are just a few of the ways climate-related variables may affect food safety. Climate change may have an impact on socio-economic elements of food systems including agriculture, animal production, global commerce, demography, and human behavior, all of which have an impact on food safety. This article examines the possible effects of projected climate change on food contamination and food safety at different levels of the food chain, as well as adaptation methods and research priorities for dealing with climate change's food safety consequences. In order to better understand the changing food safety situation and create and execute adaptation strategies to address growing hazards linked with climate change, the study suggests that intersect oral and international collaboration is required.
