The publication aims to inform the debate on the status of food security
in Arab countries, and provide policy options for enhancing food security
in the future, in line with the overarching directions of the 2030 Agenda
for Sustainable Development. Given the heterogeneity of the Arab region,
both in terms of natural endowment, particularly in water resources, and
economic capabilities, the report’s analysis divides it into four subregions,
each consisting of a more homogeneous group of countries.
