An Agricultural Perspective on Global Food Security

Abstract

Throughout history, food security has been a major concern for human societies. Concern over the effects of 
population increase and economic development/crisis on global food production and security has grown over the past few 
decades. This review's goals were to comprehensively summarise the definitions of food security, the idea of global food 
security, and, lastly, to emphasise the importance of agriculture for sustainability and ecosystem services on a global scale in 
addition to feeding the world. We looked for English-language publications from January 2000 to April 2013 in three scientific 
databases: Pub Med, Scopus, and Science Direct. Only 35 of the 1945 articles found in a review of the literature were chosen 
after being filtered by titles, abstracts, and complete papers. Numerous elements related to agriculture and food security were 
discovered in these publications. Nine billion people need to be fed, which is a huge problem that calls for changes in the global 
food security agenda for the coming decades as well as in agricultural productivity.
