@article{Lidon_2018, title={Special Issue: "Climate change and Food Security"}, volume={30}, url={https://ejfa.me/index.php/journal/article/view/1703}, abstractNote={<p>Climate change, similarly to several stressors, interacts with biological factors on Earth, triggering metabolic disorders and, therefore, decreasing productivity. In this context, might prevail a threat to our global food supply, eventually affecting the special and temporal distribution, soil composition. Besides, biological stress implies a disruption of homeostasis inducing adverse effects on species physiology, thus revealing their susceptibility, avoidance or resistant characteristics. Yet, under stress, different genotypes can induce adaptation (<em>i.e.,</em> phonotypic plasticity), which is also long being a target of breeding programs.</p> <p>In this issue of the Emirates Journal of Food and Agriculture, the implications of stress in species metabolism are in focus, with special emphasis on some interactions with climate change. Accordingly, a collection of papers focusing key issues relating stress factors with the production of raw materials in the agro food sector.</p>}, number={6}, journal={Emirates Journal of Food and Agriculture}, author={Lidon, Fernando José Cebola}, year={2018}, month={Jul.} }
