Pa summary po?Changes and Shocks in Social and Natural Environments Variability and shocks in the social and natural environment may affect food availability, accessibility, and stability. For instance, climate change may affect the timing and length of growing and harvesting seasons, amount of water supply, and degradation of resources such as erosion (FAO, 2012). In the Philippines, farmers may experience lower yields due to the scarcity of rainfall during El Niño phenomena. This will result in decrease in food supply and income poverty for farmers leading to transitory food insecurity. Conflict also results in poverty and hunger. UN reports that more than half of the 815 undernourished people come from countries in conflict (Action Against Hunger).
Answer (1)
Answer:The passage explains how changes in the environment, both social and natural, can disrupt food security. Climate change, for example, can impact agricultural seasons, water availability, and soil quality, leading to lower crop yields and food shortages. In the Philippines, El Niño events cause droughts, affecting farmers' income and food security. Additionally, conflict often leads to poverty and hunger, as seen in countries with high levels of undernourishment.
