Abstract



The problem of food security has emerged in Iraq for quite some time and has caused many problems because Iraq is mainly an agricultural country and has the potential and capabilities to achieve self-sufficiency, but the wars that the country went through and internal conflicts directly affected the issue of food security and the country is no longer able to Achieving self-sufficiency due to the inadequate policies adopted by successive governments after ۲۰۰۵ that prevented the development of the agricultural sector, and the failure to solve the water problem with the upstream countries. Therefore, the issue of food security in Iraq became hostage to imports from neighboring
countries in order to meet the basic requirements of society.
