Impact & Risks

The findings underscore the uneven resilience of global food systems, with the U.S. performing well in quality and safety but lagging in climate preparedness. This gap poses risks to food security, particularly in the face of increasing climate-related disruptions. Vulnerable populations and regions with limited resources may face heightened challenges in accessing safe and nutritious food. The report also highlights the need for improved infrastructure and investment in agricultural research to enhance resilience.
