The interactive relationship between climate change and diet
Summary:
Human survival depends on two fundamental factors: the natural living environment and nutrition. This means that global climate change is in turn changing the data related to the health and well-being of populations. The purpose of this review is to highlight the aspects of the interaction and the two-way relationship between climate change and nutrition. The relationship between climate change and nutrition is a multidimensional, two-way relationship with important determinants that emerge daily through ongoing research from different fields and sectors. This two-way relationship in turn affects the health of the population which is interrelated with the quality and safety of its nutrition. Based on the available data and despite strong evidence, it is practically impossible to accurately assess the impact of climate change on biodiversity and food production, and to accurately determine the impact on food quality and safety. However, the intensity of the impact is a function of potential climatic hazards, local climatic conditions and anthropogenic practices, for example, in energy and water consumption. The theoretical model of interactions between the climate change, nutrition, and health, which is extensively presented in the present dissertation, could be the basis for future research to look for the individual factors that shape the final interaction.
