Abstract

 This article assesses global climate change impact on food security, undernourishment population and macro economy caused by agricultural productivity change. Different socio-economic scenarios, climate conditions and availability of adaptation strategy are taken into account and agricultural sector's climate impact is comprehensively analyzed. Population, GDP and agricultural productivity are treated as socio-economic scenario elements. The results imply three things; namely 1) socio-economic condition is a fundamental factor for food demand and undernourishment population particularly in developing world, 2) climate impact is also an unignorable factor, and 3) adaptation can offset climate change negative impact.
