	Climate change has already affected food security due to warming, changing precipitation patterns, and greater frequency of some extreme events ( ''high confidence'' ). Studies that separate out climate change from other factors affecting crop yields have shown that yields of some crops (e.g., maize and wheat) in many lower-latitude regions have been affected negatively by observed climate changes, while in many higher-latitude regions, yields of some crops (e.g., maize, wheat, and sugar beets) have been affected positively over recent decades ( ''high confidence'' ). Climate change has resulted in lower animal growth rates and productivity in pastoral systems in Africa ( ''high confidence'' ). There is robust evidence that agricultural pests and diseases have already responded to climate change resulting in both increases and decreases of infestations ( ''high confidence'' ). Based on indigenous and local knowledge, climate change is affecting food security in drylands, particularly those in Africa, and high mountain regions of Asia and South America. <sup>[[#fn:20\|20]]</sup> {5.2.1, 5.2.2, 7.2.2}		Climate change has already affected food security due to warming, changing precipitation patterns, and greater frequency of some extreme events ( ''high confidence'' ).

	Urban expansion is projected to lead to conversion of cropland leading to losses in food production ( ''high confidence'' ). This can result in additional risks to the food system. Strategies for reducing these impacts can include urban and peri-urban food production and management of urban expansion, as well as urban green infrastructure that can reduce climate risks in cities <sup>[[#fn:32\|32]]</sup> ( ''high confidence'' ).

	Empowering women can bring synergies and co-benefits to household food security and sustainable land management ( ''high confidence'' ). Due to women’s disproportionate vulnerability to climate change impacts, their inclusion in land management and tenure is constrained.
