Abstract:
This research study aims to examine the relationship between agricultural trade policies and food security in developing countries. Agricultural trade policies play a crucial role in shaping global food systems and influencing food availability, accessibility, and affordability. However, the impact of these policies on food security outcomes, particularly in developing countries, remains a complex and debated issue. This study will analyze the various agricultural trade policies implemented by developing countries, including tariffs, subsidies, and import/export regulations. It will assess the effects of these policies on domestic food production, market dynamics, and food security indicators such as availability, access, utilization, and stability. Additionally, the research will explore the implications of international trade agreements and global market integration on food security in developing countries. By examining the relationship between agricultural trade policies and food security, this study aims to provide insights for policymakers, researchers, and stakeholders in designing trade policies that promote food security and sustainable development.
