It utilizes the International Model for Policy Analysis of Agricultural Commodities and Trade (IMPACT) and other data sources to project changes in food security indicators up to 2050. The study highlights the multidimensional effects of demographic changes on food security and suggests that policy interventions targeting poverty reduction, population growth moderation, and technological advancements in agriculture could improve food security outcomes. \\ \\ (Generated with the help of GPT-4) \\ =====Additional Viewpoints===== Categories: {{tag>2000s_time_horizon}} | {{tag>2009_time_horizon}} | {{tag>Africa_geographic_scope}} | {{tag>English_publication_language}} | {{tag>Sub-saharan_Africa_geographic_scope}} | {{tag>agricultural_technology}} | {{tag>caloric_availability}} | {{tag>climate_change}} | {{tag>food}} | {{tag>food_demand}} | {{tag>food_security}} | {{tag>food_supply}} | {{tag>malnutrition}} | {{tag>natural_resources}} | {{tag>population_growth}} | {{tag>poverty_reduction}} | {{tag>sub-saharan_africa}} ~~DISCUSSION~~
