Food Security risks for Austria caused by climate change
Abstract
Food security is recognized as threat by the UN, the US and the EU since 2008. Climate change will influence agricultural production potentials in Austria and in regions, from where Austria imports feedingstuffs and food. Beyond that the resilience of Austrian food supply will be affected by threats caused by political conflicts, by social and political riots for feed, food and water and by a global competition for agricultural commodities agricultural land and energy needed for agricultural production. The aim of the project is the realisation of a risk analysis on food security risks in Austria. The project will develop threat scenarios and asses them within a risk analysis. The risk analysis will lead to political recommendations regarding food security risk communication and food security risk management.
