دراسة تقييمية تحليلية لسياسات تحقيق التنمية الزراعية والأمن الغذائي المستدام في عينة من الدول العربية خلال الفترة 2000 - 2021

Abstract

Achieving food security is a goal pursued by most countries in light of the current global economic transformations, which pose multiple challenges across various political, economic, and social spheres. This is particularly true for developing countries, including Arab nations, whose governments have formulated a range of policies through an integrated system of measures and legislations. These wereenacted to achieve specific objectives, primarily the development and enhancement of the agricultural sector’s performance, ensuring the dimensions of food security, and addressing challenges that affect the stability of the food system, with the ultimate aim of reaching higher levels of self-sufficiency and increasing export coverage of imports. This is done in parallel with narrowing the gap between food demand and production, both in the present and in the future.Therefore, this research paper aims to study and evaluate various policies and programs adopted to achieve sustainable agricultural development and food security, both on an individual level and within the framework of regional cooperation in a sample of Arab countries, including Algeria, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and Bahrain, during the period from 2000 to 2021. The study is based on specialized global food security indicators provided by the Economist Intelligence Unit and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations.
