Food security remains one of the most critical global challenges, particularly in rural and developing regions where agriculture serves as the primary source of livelihood and national food supply. Climate change, population growth, market instability, and insufficient domestic production often lead to increased dependency on imported food, higher vulnerability to external shocks, and declining food system resilience.
