*3.1.2 Adapting to climate change in the food sector*

Despite the fact that climate change effects are expected to increase in the next 40 years, food production needs to be increased by 50% to face the land shrinking and to provide necessary food [26]. Although we are adopting the current changes, preparedness for unexpected future changes is also highly critical. Some countries started adapting to climate change effects. For instance, Ghana adapted to the drought and rainfall changes by planning and installing early-maturing, drought-resistant crops, and applying agrochemicals [32]. In Burkina Faso, West Africa, they planned dry season crops and installed micro water harvesting systems. Several considerations are to be taken in dealing with climate change to protect food [32].

Several recommendations related to policies are identified as follows [4]:
