Climate Change Impact on Agriculture and Food Security

This Form 2 topic explores the critical interrelationship between climate change, agricultural productivity, and food security in Zambia. Learners will analyze the specific effects of climate change on crop and animal production and investigate how farming activities contribute to greenhouse gas emissions. The unit covers the four dimensions of food security: availability, accessibility, utilisation, and stability. Aligned with the CBC's emphasis on environmental issues, this topic prepares students for ECZ exam questions on contemporary challenges and equips them with knowledge to propose mitigation and adaptation strategies relevant to the Zambian context.
