المستخلص

The issue of food security is of great importance in light of contemporary global and local changes, with its economic, social, political and security components. Today's food security challenges have become the first threat to all countries and peoples.
The problem of the research is the extent to which the state is able to provide and make sufficient food supplies available to citizens, but it extends to the circumstances of the extent of individuals’ ability to obtain food in light of the low rate of self-sufficiency in food commodities and the continued increase in the food gap, which negatively affects Egyptian food security, especially In light of the expected effects of the current Russian-Ukrainian war, and despite the recent increase in agricultural production, this increase is not commensurate with the increasing consumer needs, which indicates the widening of the food gap in basic food commodities and with the increase in international prices of food commodities, large groups of low-income populations It will face severe problems in its ability to obtain its necessary food needs, which requires the import of food from abroad to fill this gap.
