Abstract
This paper provides an overview of how food production influences climate change and also illustrates the impact of
climate change on food production. To perform such an overview, the (inter)link between different parts of the food
supply chain continuum (agriculture production, livestock farming, food processing, food transport and storing, retail
food, and disposal of food waste) and climate change has been investigated through a bibliometric analysis. Besides
UNSustainable Development Goal (SDG) 13, associated with climate change, other SDGs that are associated with
this overview are goals #1, #2, #3, #6, #7, #12, and #15. Based on the evidence gathered, the paper provides
some recommendations that may assist in efforts to reduce the climate-related impacts of food production.
