Food securityClimate variabilityPopulation growthInflationGARCHGlobal hunger has increased recently, returning to levels observed a decade ago. Climate change is identified as a key factor contributing to these
variability on food security. All indexed components explained more than 50% of the variance, resulting in a food security eigenvalue of 3.603 with a 0.901 proportion. The findings indicated that population growth and climate variability significantly negatively affect Pakistan’s food security. Further...
This problem is particularly acute in Africa where an estimated one in four people still lack adequate food to sustain an active and healthy life. In this study, we consider the potential impact of future population growth and climate change on food security in Africa, looking ahead to 2050. ...
Rapid population growth in many developing countries has raised concerns regarding food security and household welfare. To understand the consequences of population growth in a general equilibrium setting, we examine the dynamics of population density and its impacts on household outcomes using panel data...
Ntiamoah, E.B., Chandio, A.A., Yeboah, E.N.How do carbon emissions, economic growth, population growth, trade openness and employment influence food security? Recent evidence from the East Africa.
Food security is measured using the food production index (FPI), while other variables such as globalization (GLOB), population growth (POP), gross domestic product (GDP) as a measure of economic growth, and inflation are considered. The results of the Quantile Autoregressive Distributed Lag ...
* In 2013, David Attenborough—a famous “broadcaster, writer, and naturalist”—referred to humans as “a plague on the Earth” and an “enormous horde” using up space needed to grow food. He said “either we limit our population growth or the natural world will do it for us….”[59...
This chapter presents estimates of the number of people in poverty and changes over time in the number of people in poverty, identifies factors that are related to poverty, and evaluates the role that population growth plays in determining poverty. Atten
