The paper used pooled fixed effects to estimate the relationship among these variables.Findings Findings show that food security in EAC is adversely affected by temperature. However, precipitation and increasing areas cultivated with cereal crops will be beneficial to ensure everyone's food security.Originality/value Actions for mitigating global warming are important for EAC to consolidate the region’s economic, political and social development/stability.
