Synopsis
In this chapter we are going to have a very quick view at the likely impacts of climate change, food security and their definitions and terminology. Having in mind the importance of food security in current situation, from one side, and phenomena such as climate change from other side leads to the drawing of a strategic road map. Its principles will be briefly discussed. Finally, we consider some potential road maps that might lead us to solutions that allow the feeding of nine billion people by 2050 without destroying the planet.
