The manifestation of the devastating impacts of climate change is a threat to food security and it is producing severe and chronic hunger. Poor people are the most affected. Most of these poor people live in rural areas of most of the developing countries. They rely mainly on agriculture for both subsistence and major source of livelihood. The concern is that climate change is making food insecure. Prices of food have gone up drastically over and above what the poor can afford. To reduce hunger and poverty caused by the devastating impa ct of climate change, there should be intervention to stop the main contributor to global climate change which is the burning of fossil fuel that emits carbon dioxide. Against this backdrop, this paper advocates for emission reduction in order to safe agriculture sector that is producing food for the world’s well-being and livelihood
