SECURING FOODS IN LIBYA C0NCEPTS, CHALLENGES AND STRATEGIES

Abstract

In general securing food is affected by the economy and related phenomena. Food scarcity affects food prices and hence affects social and political instability, which raise a civilized crisis. Accordingly, to study securing food this work adopted the definition of food security given by the Rome Declaration on World Food Security in 1996 and the Sustainable Development Goals given by the United Nation in 2000. The definitions used to depend on concepts that were used as a guide to face the challenges in implementing food security planning in Libya. The problem of underinvestment in agriculture and the bad practice of agricultural process form a major issue in securing food in Libya. Also, the planning for securing water and energy does not cop with the program set for securing food. Therefore, and to plan a better strategy, water, energy, and food nexus approach must be adopted. The three sectors are inextricably linked and protecting the vital ecosystem.
