The article by Assoc. Prof. Monika Adamczak-Retecka and Olga Śniadach, PhD entitled "Towards a Redefinition of the Food Security. Concept in the Light of Climate Change. The European Union Law Perspective” was published in Brill's International Community Law Review Journal.
The purpose of this study is to show how the definition of food security in particular has changed in times of climate change. It is a multidimensional phenomenon that has no legal definition so far. Associated mainly with physical access to food, food security was identified as a global problem by Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) in 1975 at the Word Food Conference. At the European Union level, food security is strictly connected with the Common Agriculture Policy. One of the new aims of that policy is to make agriculture more sustainable and responsive to current and future challenges, including climate variability. There is the dual challenge of both adapting production systems to new conditions and reducing greenhouse gases produced by agriculture.
