This review explores how climate and environmental changes (CECs) impact food systems and nutrition security, introducing the "nutritional ecology" framework, which views nutrition as a dynamic interplay between internal and external environments.

Key findings highlight that climate change disrupts food production, supply chains, and dietary diversity, leading to higher food insecurity and malnutrition rates. The study calls for integrating climate adaptation into food system policies, focusing on sustainable agriculture, food fortification, and resilient nutrition strategies.
