Abstract
Food insecurity, defined as the lack of access to affordable and nutritious food, is one of the greatest challenges of our generation. Worldwide it affects more than 750 million people, with the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic pushing this number towards 1 billion. Aside from a lack of food, poor nutrition related to overconsumption of nutrients of concern such as sugar and salt, is creating a global health pandemic. In the United States, it is estimated that by 2030, close to a staggering half of the population will be obese. Obesity has been linked to a variety of diseases such as diabetes or cardiovascular conditions that kill more people than cancer on a global scale. These lifestyle diseases rooted in the nutritional value of consumed food are thereby largely preventable, provided a focus on the issue, and effective interventions. Climate change, which augments severe weather events, the number of heat days, and triggers stressors such as sea level rise, is exacerbating the issue of food insecurity by affecting the entire food system from production to consumption. This chapter discusses what the Southeast Florida region Greater Miami is doing to address food security as part of their climate change adaptation initiatives. Miami is “Ground Zero” for the effects of climate change with sea level rise putting in danger economic viability, and ultimately livability in this beautiful coastal region. The counties and municipalities in Greater Miami are spearheading initiatives that have been praised on a national level and are mainly related to infrastructure improvements to adapt to sea level rise. However, as this chapter discusses, they fall short on addressing food security, and nutrition as well as food system resilience. Thus, recommendations will be given to address these issues, based on tertiary research.
