Climate change will exacerbate a wide variety of global food safety issues, ranging from seafood safety to antibiotic resistance, according to a new report by the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO).

“Projections for the 21st century show that global warming will accelerate,” said the FAO report, which lists stronger storm systems, extreme precipitation and dry spells and rising sea levels as the primary symptoms of climate change. This will have widespread implications for food production, security and safety, the report said.

The list of food issues affected by climate change is widely discussed in the 40-page report, which emphasizes the need for policymakers to prepare for emerging food safety risks linked to climate change.

“Assuring food safety is a complex task. Food safety hazards can arise at any stage of the food chain from primary production through consumption. Assuring food safety therefore entails the active involvement from a number of stakeholders,” said the report.
