Abstract

Background. Climate change has emerged as a major threat to global food security, profoundly affecting food availability, accessibility, utilization, and stability, with direct consequences for human nutrition and health. Disruptions in food systems caused by rising temperatures, extreme weather events, and environmental degradation have intensified nutritional vulnerabilities, particularly among low-income and climate-sensitive populations. Purpose. This study aims to explore how climate change impacts food systems and to assess the resulting nutritional and health consequences across different socio-economic contexts. Method. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining secondary data analysis from global food security, climate, and nutrition databases with a systematic review of peer-reviewed literature and international reports. Descriptive and comparative analyses were used to identify patterns of vulnerability, while thematic analysis was applied to examine pathways linking climate stressors, food systems, and nutritional outcomes. Results. The results indicate that climate change significantly undermines food system resilience, leading to reduced dietary diversity, increased micronutrient deficiencies, and heightened risks of malnutrition. The impacts are most pronounced in regions with limited adaptive capacity and weak food governance structures. Conclusion. The study concludes that strengthening food system resilience through climate-adaptive policies, sustainable agricultural practices, and integrated nutrition strategies is essential to mitigate health risks and ensure long-term food security in a changing climate.

Abstract

Background. Indigenous agricultural systems represent centuries of accumulated ecological knowledge and cultural practice, often sustaining biodiversity, food security, and community cohesion in challenging environments. Despite their recognized value, limited research integrates both ecological and social dimensions to understand their role in resilience. Purpose. This study investigates how indigenous agricultural systems contribute to strengthening ecological and social resilience in local communities, using a holistic socio-ecological framework. Method. A mixed-methods design combined quantitative ecological assessments with qualitative ethnographic research in three communities: Kailapa Valley, Seranguna Highlands, and Tumbira Coastal Plains. Data collection involved household surveys (n=180), key informant interviews (n=36), focus group discussions, and field-based ecological measurements. Results. Findings reveal that high crop diversity, robust soil fertility management, and functional water infrastructure are closely linked with cooperative labor systems, seed exchange networks, and inclusive decision-making processes. Communities exhibiting strong integration of ecological and social practices demonstrated greater adaptive capacity to environmental variability and economic fluctuations. Case study evidence from Kailapa Valley illustrates the synergistic relationship between governance, cultural rituals, and ecological stewardship. Conclusion. Indigenous agricultural systems operate as co-evolved socio-ecological frameworks that enhance resilience through the interdependence of environmental health and social cooperation. Preserving these systems offers a pathway for sustainable development and climate adaptation. The research advances the understanding of resilience by uniting ecological and social dimensions within a single analytical framework, offering methodological guidance for cross-disciplinary studies of traditional agriculture.
