Impact of climate change on the right to food 2015, para. 30
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Developing countries are likely to be the hardest hit by climate change not only because of their geographical location but also because of the way people earn their livelihoods. The majority of people living in poverty in developing countries dwell in rural areas and many of them depend on agricultural activities to provide food for their families and generate income. Both aspects have implications for non farm rural households, either through the availability of food, which can cause fluctuations in local prices, or as an indirect source of employment.
