Abstract: This study shows that climate change has the potential to substantially increase undernourishment rates and threaten food security in developing countries through crop damage, but that ozone regulation can significantly offset climate impacts, depending on the scenario. The findings should help policymakers devise optimal strategies for food production under global climate change.
