Global warming represents a major threat for food security, especially in tropical countries. It is expected that global warming will worsen the drought and the irregularity of rainfall in many countries. Mitigating the emissions of greenhouse gases is therefore an important challenge that can significantly contribute to improving food security. This can be achieved by reducing CO2 emissions due to combustion of fossil fuels, but also by changing agricultural techniques.
