Climate change is inevitable, the impact of climate change has
implicated a lot on the food safety.
Climate changes happen due to the increase in global temperature
and increased frequency of moderate to heavy rainfall. Due to the climate
change a great harm is expected on food yields.
The seasonal climate and temperature pose a threat to the agriculture,
livestock and also the fisheries.
These changes in the temperature increases the
prevalence of salmonellosis and campylobacteriosis. Further, higher
temperatures increases the susceptibility of animals to disease, which in turn
is transmitted to human beings. Aquatic animals also become weak as the
metabolic processes of fish are influenced by temperature, salinity and oxygen
levels.
These climatic changes also affects the mycotoxin contamination of
crops. It can also lead to more harmful algal blooms. These algae can produce
toxins harmful to humans.
The climate change has affected the food safety globally, by disrupting
the food availability, reduce the access to food and effect on the food
quality.
