Resumen
Descripción
Arab countries, more so than countries
in any other region, are extremely vulnerable to food-price
shocks. Furthermore, current projections indicate that they
will be unable to meet demand with production, which will
steadily increase their vulnerability to food-price shocks.
There is therefore, a need to develop policies to improve
food security for all Arab countries. Food security requires
a three pillar approach: pillar one consists of
strengthening safety nets, while providing people with
access to family planning services, and promoting education;
pillar two centers around the need to enhance domestic food
sources; and pillar three consists of managing market
volatility. These three pillars will emerge as key factors
in improving food security. Countries need to consider the
way in which they can combine these three pillars to create
a comprehensive and integrated strategy.
