“…This suggests that making energy available and affordable could affect agricultural production and distribution. This is partly consistent with Alsaleh et al [47], given that sub-Saharan Africa is the global hotspot for poverty, with 80% of agricultural production coming from smallholder farmers. However, the major obstacle to agricultural productivity by the smallholder farmers is the lack of rural electrification [48].…”

“…Specifically, regarding the food-energy binomial, Candelise and others have explored the effect of electricity prices on food security, finding both immediate and income-mediated impacts [46]. Alsaleh and others have researched bioenergy and shown that increasing it in the energy mix could improve food security in the European Union [47]. Falchetta has identified a lack of electricity access as one of the main obstacles to food security in rural sub-Saharan Africa [48].…”

Exploring the Relationship between Energy and Food Security in Africa with Instrumental Variables Analysis

The well-being of human populations and their sustainable development are strongly predicated on energy and food security. This is even more true of Africa due to often suboptimal food production, undernourishment, and extreme poverty. This article researches the relationship between energy and food security using Cobb–Douglas production functions based on the World Development Indicators data for 28 African countries. The methodological approach includes cross-sectional dependence and unit root tests, instrumental variables two-stage least-squares and generalized method of moments, and panel Driscoll–Kraay standard errors. Results suggest that the promotion of energy security promotes food security. This is possible because food production and distribution are energy-intensive. Therefore, energy is fundamental to achieving food security and zero hunger. The availability, affordability, accessibility, and acceptability of energy can thus help to fix the growing agricultural production shortage in Africa. An important policy focus should be on achieving energy security.

“…In the ecological print cluster, studies have focused on food security (Alsaleh et al, 2021 ; Nualnoom, 2022 ; Pieroni et al, 2021 ; P. Singh et al, 2022 ), the application of geographic information systems (GIS) to assess climatic conditions (Bherwani et al, 2021 ; Dereli & Tercan, 2021 ; Sarif & Gupta, 2022 ), and stakeholder involvement in ecological initiatives (Salman et al, 2022 ; Vasconcelos et al, 2022 ; Woldesenbet & Kebede, 2021 ).…”

This study aims to highlight the current trends in the literature on sustainability by applying a bibliometric review of papers on sustainability published in Environment, Development and Sustainability . Bibliometric analysis is a quantitative approach to bibliographic materials that highlights the core theoretical and empirical research on a specific field. In addition, it allows the classification of previous studies. Previous bibliometric reviewers were limited to sustainability papers in specific industries, while this study considers all papers on sustainability to provide further insights on overall sustainability topics. The analysis was based on keyword cartography analysis, bibliometric authors’ citation analysis, bibliometric papers’ citation analysis, bibliometric references’ co-citation analysis, journals’ co-citation cartography, and qualitative content analysis. A total of 997 articles on sustainability were reviewed. Bibliometric analysis was performed using VOSviewer and content analysis was performed using WordStat. Six major clusters were identified: environmental sustainability, sustainable development, urban sustainability, ecological footprint, environment, and climate change. In addition, the results reveal that Environment, Development and Sustainability has increasingly experienced important growth in research papers and citations, reflecting its significant contribution to the sustainability research field. In addition, this study presents recommendations for future research opportunities in the field of sustainability. The findings of this study have implications for sustainability research, such as the assessment of environmental and social sustainability in multinational institutional contexts and across industries as well as the examination of the impact of environmental and social sustainability on different corporate aspects and decisions. This study is the only one to review the key topics on which papers published in Environment, Development and Sustainability are focused and can be largely used for sustainability practices. This study provides an overview of how the literature on sustainability has developed, as well as a summary of the most productive authors, along with countries, organizations, and journal sources. This offers an opportunity for future research to focus on this topic.
