Abstract:
Dietary standards and food security are susceptible to global climate change. The hazards from climatic change have evolved ever since the 17th century after the Industrial Revolution, and this holds true for Pakistan's agricultural sector as well. Global warming, raising sea levels, climatic and precipitation changes, droughts, famine, heat waves, intensified storms, an increase in air pollution, and a drop in the amount and quality of nourishment are all effects of climate change. Learning about food's chemical and physical characteristics and potential changes that can occur during food production, processing, and storage is all part of studying food science. Food science enables us to maximize resource efficiency and reduce wastage in the food sector. Global climate change has led to large-scale famines, droughts, floods, and increasing sea levels. In recent times. Urbanization, deforestation, energy use, combustion, industrial activities, and additional factors all contribute to this climatic change. Despite this, it has nonetheless had an impact on the food industry, efficiency, and quality of food supplies, which has resulted in hunger and food shortages. A case study of Pakistan shows the exact effects of climate change. Research in food sciences can help stop the shortfall of food by understanding how we can overcome the disastrous effects of climate change.
