“…For building FIMI for Saudi Arabia, we used the four dimensions of food security generated by [54] availability, access, utilization, and stability. This stage follows the previous estimation of FIMI conducted by [55] and the recent study by [56] based on the neutral weights approach. First, each variable needs to be normalized according to its max and min values.…”

The existing conditions of domestic agricultural production and the resulting products will not be able to fruitfully address the increasing food demand due to the limited fertile land and water resources in Saudi Arabia. Moreover, the escalating threat of a hotter climate, the deterioration in precipitation, and harsh droughts in Saudi Arabia have reduced the predictability of water management efficiency and resulted in the exhaustion of water bodies and serious degradation of ecosystems that have directly affected agricultural systems and indirectly, food security. This study also aims to assess the impact of water efficiency on food insecurity in Saudi Arabia. The study applied the Bayesian Vector Autoregressive (BVAR) model for the reference period for the data extended from 2000–2020. Likewise, we used both impulse response functions (IRFs) and forecasting variance error decomposition (FVED) through 1000 Monte Carlo simulations according to the BVAR model to examine both the response of food insecurity to the shocks on water management efficiency used for various purposes and the decomposition of error variance in food insecurity. The results show that food insecurity was not observed throughout this study. The results of the BVAR analysis indicate that in the short run, the coefficients of water use efficiency are significant based on the Food Insecurity Multidimensional Index (FIMI). Also, the BVAR model provides a better forecast with an interdependence on water use efficiency for agricultural purposes and FIMI. Moreover, the results obtained from IRFs have shown a significant effect of water efficiency on FIMI. Water use efficiency for agriculture and industrial purposes reduces food insecurity while increasing water for services use increases food insecurity. Water use efficiency is the key factor affecting food insecurity in the short run. The results reveal that the water use efficiency shocks will decrease food insecurity. The shocks experienced by food insecurity can be predicted as self-shock over a span of ten years. Emphasis is given to the task of water management that may support food security in Saudi Arabia through implementing and enhancing the water use efficiency as an integral part of achieving the SDGs in Saudi Arabia.

“…Un estudio de accesibilidad alimentaria en la ruralidad de la India mostró que factores como la lejanía y el tamaño de las localidades era determinante para calcular los subsidios a los alimentos (Asthana, 2009). En Brasil, un estudio sobre accesibilidad alimentaria mostró que, si bien la distribución y el acceso a los alimentos aumentó en los últimos años, no fue combinado con políticas que garanticen su seguridad y calidad, porque se necesitan intervenciones específicas que tomen en cuenta las particularidades regionales (Braga y Costa, 2020). En Colombia, la propiedad del suelo acaparada por los grandes monopolios y empresas transnacionales afectó las actividades agrícolas y el acceso alimentario (Castañeda Zuluaga, 2019).…”

El objetivo de este artículo es analizar la seguridad alimentaria y la accesibilidad a los productos de la canasta básica rural desde las condicionantes físico-geográficas como la infraestructura carretera, las redes de abasto y la disponibilidad de los alimentos en los establecimientos locales. La metodología consiste en una muestra de dos localidades rurales de Guanajuato, México, con la aplicación de una encuesta de tres componentes: 1) la experiencia de seguridad alimentaria, 2) el acceso a los productos de la canasta básica rural y 3) las condiciones de la infraestructura y transporte. Los resultados del estudio evidenciaron que, en zonas rurales, el costo monetario de los alimentos se eleva por el gasto de transporte para acceder a los productos. Además, muchos de los alimentos más saludables, como frutas y verduras, no se ofertan en las localidades rurales, a menos que los comerciantes se desplacen por ellos. En conclusión, las decisiones de consumo alimentario del ámbito rural están restringidas por las condiciones físico-geográficas del territorio, como la topografía y las redes de transporte. No obstante, los hogares rurales mantienen posibilidad de respuesta para compensar el acceso a los alimentos gracias a la organización comunitaria y sus redes solidarias de abastecimiento.
