Agriculture is a strategic sector of the national economy; it
contributes a large percentage of the gross domestic product, with
a value of about 14.2%. Also, the agricultural sector also plays an
important role in absorbing a large portion of Egyptian
employment estimated at about 25% of Egypt's total labor
market. Agricultural products contribute about 17% of total
Egyptian merchandise exports to foreign markets, which makes
the agricultural sector one of the important national income
resources. The research aims to study the impact of the
agricultural sector on Egyptian national security, and build a
proposed strategy for agricultural development in the economic
field, using the descriptive analysis and the deductive methods.
The study concluded that, the relationship between agriculture
and national security is represented in the impact of agriculture
on the national economy, and thus the economic dimension
affects the rest of the of the dimensions of national security,
which in turn affects the national security of the country. This
study showed that, despite the internal and external challenges
and global crises, Egypt is able to achieve food security. Also,
some suggested policies or recommendations of the development
of the agricultural sector in Egypt were concluded. And God
Almighty believed when He made food and security the best
blessings, as He says in His decisive Book (the Holy Quran) Who
has fed them from hunger and made them safe from fear.
