Adaptation to the climate change and employment of mitigation strategies are important to achieve food security. Dependency of food production systems on the climate increases the urgency to identify and develop innovative strategies to adapt and mitigate the changing climatic conditions. Climate and food security cannot be separated.  Apart from producing food, agriculture also provides the primary source of livelihood for more than a quarter of the population of the world’s total workforce. The impact of climate change on agricultural production in low-income developing countries of Asia and Africa will be evident on large numbers of the rural poor that will be put at risk and their vulnerability to food insecurity increased. Several efforts are underway already to support capacity building and adaptation research and action, but these have not been adequate. The inadequacy could be attributed to lack of capacity to institute effective intervention measures and inadequate expertise and facilities at all levels to manage climate change.
