Abstract

Global food security is increasingly threatened by climate 
change, geopolitical conflicts, and shifting agricultural 
production patterns. Extreme weather events such as droughts, 
floods, and irregular rainfall have significant impacts on 
agricultural productivity, exacerbating food shortages, especially 
in vulnerable areas. In addition, armed conflicts in countries such 
as Somalia, South Sudan, Yemen, and Afghanistan further 
exacerbate food security by disrupting agricultural infrastructure 
and food distribution systems. This study uses a qualitative 
approach with descriptive-analytical methods, utilizing a 
literature review of academic journals, reports from international 
organizations, and policy documents. Data analysis was 
conducted using content analysis and comparative analysis to 
identify key patterns and strategies in food security across 
regions. The results show that the climate crisis and armed 
conflict are key drivers of food insecurity, with direct 
consequences for food availability, accessibility, and stability. In 
addition, major global actors, including China, the European 
Union, and Russia, are using food diplomacy as a strategic tool 
in international relations, impacting global trade and political 
stability. Furthermore, technological advances in precision 
agriculture, artificial intelligence, hydroponics, and smart 
irrigation have emerged as potential solutions to improve food 
security, albeit with challenges related to accessibility and 
implementation costs. Studies show that sustainable food 
policies, international cooperation, and technology adoption must 
be prioritized to effectively address food security challenges. 
Strengthening global trade networks, enhancing climate 
adaptation strategies, and promoting diplomatic efforts to resolve 
conflicts are important steps towards a more resilient global food 
system.
