Climatic change would push an additional 100 million people into poverty by 2030 in the world. It has put water security at risk, and is threatening agricultural supply chains and many coastal cities. And another most important question in the more than 815 (2016) million (India’s 190.7 million) people are malnourished in the World. Food security and agriculture is the sector most vulnerable to climate change due to its high dependence on climate and weather. Food insecurity is a global problem and food security depends on agricultural productivity, per capita tea, coffee, egg, cereal, pulses and other food items.
