Abstract: For a large agricultural country like China, it is crucial to effectively prevent climate change's impact on food security. Using the data on China from 2001 to 2019, this study quantitatively estimates the impact of climate change on China's food security. The empirical results show that China's food security in 2019 was 0.8473. It indicates a significant improvement in China's food security. More importantly, climate change significantly impacts China's food security, especially food production capacity. Furthermore, climate change in important global food-producing countries (e.g., the United States, Thailand, and Australia) will restrain China's food security. Finally, this study suggests that the government should pay attention to the negative impact of climate change on food security.
