FOOD SECURITY, FOOD PRICES AND CLIMATE VARIABILITY - Food Security, Food Prices and Climate Variability - page 19

responses to food price spikes and their likely ability to incorporate new information on the
interaction between prices and production. Climate variability is likely to continue to impact
global agricultural markets through increasing droughts and temperature extremes. Innov-
ative solutions and approaches to improving the resilience of vulnerable households are pre-
sented, along with conclusions and ways forward for early warning organizations.
