“…Although some studies regard efficiency and productivity gains as a viable solution for food security (Abdelaal & Thilmany, 2019 ; Alobid & Derardja, 2021 ), options in this direction seem very limited considering the closed status of the Nile basin and the already high efficiency at system level of 80 per cent. The paper by Abdelkader and Elshorbagy ( 2021 ) showed maximizing food self-sufficiency comes at the expense of increased agricultural water use whereas water resources are already very limited, which is in line with our argument. The paper recognizes opportunities in changes in cropping patterns (shifting to water-saving and higher value crops) that could potentially optimize the agricultural sector under water scarcity.…”

Other studies have focused on modelling past trends and projecting towards the future, discussing the interplays between food security and, among others, natural resource management (Abdelkader & Elshorbagy, 2021 ; Rosegrant & IMPACT Development Team, 2012 ; Sulser et al, 2011 ).Yet, these studies did not analyse to what extent food security strategies shifted to reduce the reliance on global food markets for food security in MENA countries. To do so, we focus on two MENA countries, Egypt and Jordan, two water-stressed, increasingly populated, oil-poor countries.…”

Food security under water scarcity: a comparative analysis of Egypt and Jordan

Although there seems enough water available for our global food needs, there are large areas with growing water scarcity. Food security in these water scarce areas cannot be met through self-sufficiency. The only option is to become more dependent on food imports which is increasingly risky due to volatility in production and food prices. Before 2008, declining food prices and increasing global cereal production favoured the food import strategy. The 2008 world food crisis represented a shock to this strategy and renewed attention was paid to the self-sufficiency strategy. The aim of this paper is to compare the food security strategies of Egypt and Jordan, two water-stressed, increasingly populated, oil-poor countries, pre and post 2008, by means of a food-water analytical framework using FAOSTAT data. Findings show that Egypt and Jordan have many similarities in their food security situation as both are highly dependent on food imports (Egypt 50%, Jordan 95%), and both have a reduced capacity to absorb future price increases. As food imports are inevitable under the water scarce context of Egypt and Jordan, it is important to focus on how to cope with volatilities. Our analysis shows that Jordan has better absorbed the costs of rising food imports than Egypt and that Egypt is trapped by its high domestic cereal production. Having revealed the limited options available to water-scarce countries for food security, we discuss the potential of grain reserves to cope with future price hikes and production shocks.

“…In recent years, the increase in demand for agricultural products arising from population growth, economic development and urbanization has resulted into an increase in water and energy use for food production (Karabulut et al, 2016;Radmehr et al, 2021). A global shortage of food caused by increasing competition for the consumption of limited water and energy resources in the agricultural sector along with climate change is a predictable event (Steffen et al, 2015;Pastor et al, 2019;Abdelkader and Elshorbagy, 2021). Agriculture accounts for about 90% of fresh water consumption and about 30% of energy use around the world (FAO, 2011).…”

Frontiers is more than just an open access publisher of scholarly articles: it is a pioneering approach to the world of academia, radically improving the way scholarly research is managed. The grand vision of Frontiers is a world where all people have an equal opportunity to seek, share and generate knowledge. Frontiers provides immediate and permanent online open access to all its publications, but this alone is not enough to realize our grand goals. Frontiers journal seriesThe Frontiers journal series is a multi-tier and interdisciplinary set of openaccess, online journals, promising a paradigm shift from the current review, selection and dissemination processes in academic publishing. All Frontiers journals are driven by researchers for researchers; therefore, they constitute a service to the scholarly community. At the same time, the Frontiers journal series operates on a revolutionary invention, the tiered publishing system, initially addressing specific communities of scholars, and gradually climbing up to broader public understanding, thus serving the interests of the lay society, too. Dedication to qualityEach Frontiers article is a landmark of the highest quality, thanks to genuinely collaborative interactions between authors and review editors, who include some of the world's best academicians. Research must be certified by peers before entering a stream of knowledge that may eventually reach the public -and shape society; therefore, Frontiers only applies the most rigorous and unbiased reviews. Frontiers revolutionizes research publishing by freely delivering the most outstanding research, evaluated with no bias from both the academic and social point of view. By applying the most advanced information technologies, Frontiers is catapulting scholarly publishing into a new generation. What are Frontiers Research Topics?Frontiers Research Topics are very popular trademarks of the Frontiers journals series: they are collections of at least ten articles, all centered on a particular subject. With their unique mix of varied contributions from Original Research to Review Articles, Frontiers Research Topics unify the most influential researchers, the latest key findings and historical advances in a hot research area.

“…Bibliographic coupling is a particularly useful research technique when investigating interdisciplinary (Thurner et al, 2020) or newly derived concepts (Shah et al, 2019). Our research satisfies both of these criteria, as food security is being researched in a variety of disciplines, including economics (Tweeten, 1999;De Haen & Hemrich, 2007;Stevano et al, 2020), environmental science (Workie et al, 2020), agricultural and plant science (Reddy, 2015;Opitz et al, 2016;Ulian et al, 2020), sociology (Carolan, 2016;Bhandari, 2017) and management (McLaughlin & Kinzelbach, 2015;Abdelkader & Elshorbagy, 2021). Short supply chains appear in fields such as logistics-related research (Paciarotti & Torregiani, 2021), agricultural research (De Fazio, 2016), economics (Kiss et al, 2019) and sustainability science (Kamble et al, 2020).…”

Purpose – This paper aims to reveal potential research possibilities for enhancing climate-smart agriculture through short supply chains. Research question – How can short supply chains assure food security and the promotion of climate-smart agriculture? Research methodology – Bibliographic and bibliometric coupling techniques were employed using data from 1990–2022. The raw data was processed using the VOSviewer 1.6.18 software version. Findings – The results confirm the positive effect of the systemically important relationship between the short supply chain and food security. Research limitations – Climate-smart agriculture is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon. Additional variables may have moderating and mediating effects on the impact of short supply chains on food security. Practical implications – The results establish the importance of having a short supply chain for food security in different aspects of the process from the harvest to the table. Originality and value – This study confirms the rationale for developing shorter food supply chains to assure food security and climate-smart agriculture when possible.
