Socioeconomic Factors Influencing Food Security in a Climate Change Context: A Case Study of Gujar Khan, District Rawalpindi
This research shows the impact of socioeconomic conditions on the outcomes of food security, which comes under the climate change in the agricultural community of Gujar Khan, which is in the District Rawalpindi. Based on qualitative data, which was collected through interviews with local farmers, the research recognizes that farmers face a lot of challenges, including poor access to markets, low prices of crops, and limited access to fertilizers, seeds, and pesticides. Due to changes in the climate, crop failures were a very common issue that was noticed by the farmers in Gujar Khan. There is a need to provide resources and awareness to the farming community for the better production of crops. The study shows that surviving methods are very few. While some farmers adopt some small changes, which is a systemic approach that is supported by some policy, infrastructure is lacking.
