The Heritage Institute for Policy Studies published in November 2021 a study titled "Prospects of Food Security in Somalia under Looming Climate Changes" by Abdirashid Elmi.
The report provides an assessment of food security challenges in Somalia in the face of climate extremes. Somalia has warmed faster than the global average. Alternating droughts and floods have intensified, causing more households to face the risk of becoming food insecure. Climate change is predicted to adversely affect agricultural yields in Somalia where crop production relies heavily on environmental factors such as rainfall and temperature. There is an interdependent relationship between food production and climate change.
