Food Security In The African Sahel Within The Context Of Climate Change: An Analytical Approach
Authors : Birem Fatima .
Abstract
The article examines climate change as one of the most significant security challenges that have affected the African Sahel in recent years, and the profound consequences it has had on food security in the region. Relying on an analytical approach, the study highlights the impacts of rising temperatures, changing rainfall patterns and volumes, and increasing desertification and drought on the agriculture and animal husbandry sectors, which constitute the primary sources of food in the region, thereby undermining food security. This has contributed to widespread poverty and malnutrition, and various diseases, in addition to pest infestations such as irregular migration, organized crime, and terrorism. Moreover, internal and inter-state conflicts have increased, particularly in countries experiencing political instability, state fragility, and limited governance capacity.
