The freezing and frozen storage lead to macro- and microscale changes of fish muscles, with major changes being lipid oxidation inducing rancidity, protein denaturation and aggregation causing toughness, red color fading and freezer burn. The process of freezing involves transforming water to ice which in turn results into an increase in the concentration of dissolved substances, adjusting the acid-base balance. It can lead to pH changes of up to 1 unit, often towards acidity and in some cases up to 10 units due to salt and other compounds precipitation. The described changes permanently alter the properties of the physical-chemical nature of frozen fish including the convenience and storage conditions of the food, thereby directing attention to the necessity of new approaches in technologies.

As we look to the future, concerns about food security arise, prompting questions about the potential effects on aggregate productivity. Numerous factors, such as population growth, income disparities, dietary preferences, disease incidence, and competing demands for land and water resources, will influence global food security in the coming decades. While studies indicate that the overall food supply worldwide may not be seriously jeopardized by projected climate changes, there is a growing consensus that food insecurity in Africa will intensify. The risk of hunger is expected to increase both in terms of percentage and absolute numbers throughout the century. Despite projections suggesting a relatively minimal impact on the global average supply of calories in the next few decades, ranging from close to zero to potentially 20% to 30% of overall yield trends, the complexity of the issue is underscored by significant regional variations. The global perspective on food security conceals nuanced changes at smaller scales, which could have substantial implications even if overall production is maintained. To mitigate uncertainties in understanding global impacts, this paper recommends improving estimates of global warming rates and the responsiveness of crop yields to both warming and increased carbon dioxide levels. The responsiveness of yields is intricately linked to various factors, including genetic improvements made to crops, making it essential to address these variables for a more accurate assessment of future scenarios.

The factor of cookware preparation, storage systems, and/or the versatility and level of education of food handlers are all types of food safety factors that directly or indirectly influence food safety to some degree. Properly nailing down food hygiene first entails looking closely into personal hygiene and the conduct of employees working in food businesses. The food handlers with poor personal hygiene may, in close proximity to the food, be carriers of intestinal helminths, protozoa, and enteropathogenic bacteria. This is when the hands of the handlers can carry excreta from their feces, and they spread it into food with their fingers, thereby leading to infections in the customers. This study assessed the most influential risk factors causing food vendor's illness, identifies several of them, like the groceries, raw food and quality; food prepared and handled in the streets; transportation; absence of regulations involving time and specific holding temperature; and the environment's cleanliness. Nevertheless, the research work came to reveal that various aspects of street food safety are persistently being taken into much account in consuming what belongs to dissimilar socio-economic grouping. Therefore, since the economic benefits of street food trading are incalculable, it is very critical that authorities strengthened and implemented the policies/ regulations in order to ensure food safety.

Even after initial triggers cease, formed gullies can persistently generate sediment. This study delves into the multifaceted influences of geology, climate, slope morphology, vegetation, human impact, and soil properties on gully development and broader soil erosion. Drawing from empirical examples globally and locally, it underscores the pivotal role of local soil characteristics in propagating erosion, particularly the gully variant. Anthropogenic factors, especially land use practices and their impact on vegetation, weigh heavily. Rampant deforestation coupled with insufficient re-vegetation or afforestation initiatives have exacerbated the looming erosion threats, contributing to catastrophic consequences. Despite the effectiveness of various strategies in preventing and addressing gully erosion, their sustained implementation on a large scale remains elusive. Thus, research priorities must encompass sub-surface flow erosion mechanisms, predictive models, and the intricate dynamics influencing farmers' adoption or rejection of conservation strategies. To combat soil erosion comprehensively, a holistic approach to soil conservation becomes imperative. This entails employing hydrological or bioenvironmental processes to regulate overland flow and curb excessive runoff. Prioritizing these aspects can inform more robust strategies for soil conservation, mitigating the pervasive impact of erosion on our lands.

It is widely acknowledged that the impacts of climate change pose a significant threat to food production systems and the livelihoods of millions of people, particularly in vulnerable regions such as Somalia. The study was set to examine the effect of climate change on food security in Gedo, Jubaland, Somalia. This study adopted a mixed-methods research approach to investigate the effect of climate change on food security in Gedo, Jubaland, Somalia. From the study discussions the demographic profile of our respondents, highlighting its implications on our data. The agricultural practices prevalent in the region, the economic indicators that define the community’s prosperity, and the crucial indicators of food security were deliberated upon in depth. Drawing the study results, the study concluded that the tapestry of Gedo, Jubaland, Somalia, is a complex interplay of tradition, resilience, challenges, and aspirations. At the heart of this narrative is a community deeply rooted in its agricultural practices, where livestock rearing emerges not just as an occupation, but as a way of life. The reliance on traditional farming, while indicative of a rich cultural heritage, also points to opportunities for growth and modernization. Lastly from the study conclusion and findings the study recommended that embrace Modern Agricultural Practices: While traditional farming has sustained Gedo for generations, there are benefits to integrating modern techniques.

Nevertheless, Nigeria is to face the food security crisis due to its agriculture sector which it heavily depends, but food consumption is imported rather than self-produced. Projections indicate that by 2030 Nigeria’s population will double the 2006 estimation which necessitates increased food production to meet the growing and urbanizing population needs and to open possibilities of exports. Apart from this, the country is faced with soil degradation as a result of inappropriate agricultural practices; erosion and gully, deforestation as well as climate change. It endangers the once dominant subsistent farm economy. The problems rose above show that there is an urgent need to review the role of fertilizers in food production for better food security. Proper execution of fertilizer policies becomes a powerful tool towards increasing agricultural production, malnutrition reduction and poverty alleviation through lowering food prices. Nevertheless, demand and supply factors like low farmers’ incomes, high market prices due the limited availability of fertilizer and public policy response also known as price incentives influence the low usage of fertilizers in Nigeria. In view of above problems, there is an urgent need to have a more holistic approach to sustainably raise agricultural productivity in Nigeria with a view to averting food shortage.
