Advancing food Security by Strengthening Food Systems and Economic Resilience in Arab Region

Undoubtedly, developed and developing nations suffer from rising food insecurity for several reasons that preceded the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian crisis, which led to its deepening. Moreover, Arab states face chronic structural challenges, which leads to a crucial situation. Accordingly, they should enhance their food security status, as it becomes a national security issue.
Despite the strenuous efforts made by Arab governments, they aren't sufficient to achieve the Sustainable Development Goal of eradicating hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition. Hence the paper concluded four main paths that can be adopted and built upon, which include localizing a comprehensive conceptual framework for the food system to serve as an ecosystem and redesigning the food system as the core of the proposed conceptual framework.
In the meantime, the paper suggested strengthening data-based and technology-based agriculture in small and large farms, enabling them to adopt modern agricultural techniques. Finally, they need to implement vigorous efforts to eradicate functional literacy. It supports understanding the components of the conceptual framework of the food system, sharpening related skills and possessing the necessary capabilities to deal with the modern food system, as well as managing and governance its results.
