Air Pollution and Greenhouse Gases Emissions: Implications in Food Production and Food Security

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Greenhouse Gases: Sources, Sinks and Mitigation

Abstract

Future food production is highly vulnerable to climate change with implications for global food security. This effect is exacerbated by air pollution which further impacts food production negatively. Most of the research on climate change impacts on agriculture focuses on the role of temperature and precipitation. However, anthropogenic climate change is a result of emissions of both long-lived greenhouse gases (GHGs) and short-lived climate pollutants. Tropospheric ozone, methane (GHGs), and black carbon are important short-lived climate pollutants and important GHGs that impact yields of major food crops directly or indirectly through climate. This chapter reviews the relationship between air pollutants, climate change, and food security. Furthermore, the chapter focuses on India where air pollution has become a major concern for health and food production. The review reveals that there is a tremendous decrease in crop productivities all around the world with significant contribution from ozone pollution, especially in India. The wheat crop in the green revolution belt is more impacted by air pollutants than climate change which is a concern for food security at country as well as global scale.
