| Key Factor | Consequence |
| Access to food, equitable and consistent markets | Price shocks and price variability lead to supply disruption |
| Rural and agricultural infrastructure destroyed | A decrease in local supply and disruption in food distribution networks |
| Loss of livestock and access to arable land | Decrease in yields and caloric availability |
| Deforestation, desertification coupled with rising coastal levels and decreasing potable water tables | Climate change disruption of food availability, natural resource depletion and access to water for consumption |
| No consistent access to quality seed, farm technology or human capital | Cycle of poverty with poor access to basic technology and high yield seed |
| Migration and human flow: large influx of people into one region, out of another region | Market shock, rapid increase in food demand and price variability |
| The use of landmines and other explosive devices throughout arable land | Reduction in arable land access, increased risk of injury or death |
| The use of food as a weapon | When food resources and access are in scarcity, coercion of communities and populations can ensue [5] |
