This Abstract sets out the risks of food security and impoverished economy in Uganda from climate change and how these vulnerabilities interact with sources of risk, including population growth, conflict and utterances within the environment. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), an intergovernmental organization, specialized agency of the United Nations that leads international efforts in shellacking hunger, calls the summits in response to widespread undernutrition and growing concern about the capacity of agriculture to meet future food needs. In 2009, the World Summit on Food Security stated that the “four pillars of food security are availability, access, utilization, and stability”. Climate change will affect all the four dimensions of food security. Uganda is highly susceptible to climate change. The economy, prosperity and welfare of its people are firmly fated to climate. With for example, a shift in the viability of coffee growing areas potentially wiping out US $265.8 million or 40% of export revenue, it shows clearly how. This abstract provides information on the interdependence between climate change and food security, and ways to deal with the new menace.
