السيادة الغذائية للوطن العربي في ظل الصراع الروسي-الأوكراني

Abstract EN

Food can be seen as an important factor in international diplomacy as a tool and prerequisite for politics, as food and grain trade in particular is important during times of conflict and war, and grain-exporting countries generally pursue external agricultural policies to sell production surpluses for material (economic) profit, in parallel with non-trade (political and security) objectives.

food supplies to importing countries are often subject to the principle of loyalty and political consensus for sale, especially in times of conflict or crisis in general.

although most food-importing countries, especially cereals, rely on cheap supplies within international markets and ignore incentives for domestic production that may ensure their self-sufficiency and thus end dependency on others, food in the modern era has become a means of diplomacy rather than a consumer need, an advantage that the producing forces use to impose their political agendas and seek hegemony through them, putting non-self-sufficient countries in the face of sovereign challenges to achieve their food security.
