Abstract

This research aims to conduct a comparative analysis of food insecurity caused by climate change in South Asian nations, with a particular emphasis on Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan. This discovery is important because food security is increasingly threatened by climate change, particularly in vulnerable South Asian countries. Understanding the complex effects of climate change on food security is essential for developing effective policy and mitigation initiatives, especially in light of the world's expanding population and agrarian economy. This research uses qualitative approach, integrating qualitative evaluations to fully examine the various aspects of food insecurity brought on by climate change in the three states. The research attempts to provide a comprehensive knowledge of the intricate interactions between food security and climate change by combining quantitative and qualitative techniques. These insights may then be used to guide evidence-based policies and initiatives. The objective of this comparative study is to provide significant knowledge to the conversation about sustainable food systems and climate change adaptation in the context of South Asia.
