Nutritional insecurity focuses on the lack of access to a balanced diet rich in essential micronutrients, leading to deficiencies despite adequate caloric intake.<\/p>\r\n<p data-path-to-node=\"34\"><b data-path-to-node=\"34\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Q2: How does climate change directly worsen food security in developing countries?<\/b><\/p>\r\n<p data-path-to-node=\"35\">Climate change increases the frequency of extreme weather events like droughts, flash floods, and heatwaves. These disruptions alter crop phenology, decrease soil fertility, lower overall crop yields, and drive up food prices due to localized supply shortages.<\/p>\r\n<p data-path-to-node=\"36\"><b data-path-to-node=\"36\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Q3: What geographical factors contribute to food deserts in urban areas of the Global South?<\/b><\/p>\r\n<p data-path-to-node=\"37\">Rapid, unplanned urbanization creates spatial mismatches where low-income informal settlements lack physical access to fresh food markets. High land values in city centers push fresh markets outward, leaving informal settlements reliant on low-cost, processed foods sold by local vendors.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><a
