Abstract

Food security is still a major issue permeating the global economy. Further, the salience of food security as an issue has increased dramatically following a global pandemic, a land war in Europe, fuel and fertilizer shortages, supply-chain shocks, and widespread inflation in food prices. Millennium Development Goals – MDGs brought back the issue of food security to the forefront of global innovation, technology, and environmental discussions. The agriculture industry today is becoming smarter, digitized, and more innovation and technological driven and integrated. This paper assesses the role of technology in ameliorating the risk of food security. We use a sample of 106 countries over the period from 2012 to 2018 to test this notion. Our results indicate that technology has a positive impact on global food security. For OECD countries, the impact is mostly on food availability, while for non-OECD countries the impact is mostly on food affordability. Moreover, OECD countries have been seeing increasing importance of technology to their food security in recent years.

创新、信息通信技术与粮食安全

粮食安全仍然是贯穿全球经济的一个主要问题。此外，在全球大流行、欧洲陆地战争、燃料和化肥短缺、供应链冲击以及食品价格普遍通胀之后，粮食安全作为一个问题的重要性急剧增加。千年发展目标——千年发展目标使粮食安全问题重新回到全球创新、技术和环境讨论的前沿。今天的农业正朝着更加智能化、数字化、创新、技术驱动和一体化的方向发展。本文评估了技术在改善粮食安全风险方面的作用。我们使用了2012年至2018年106个国家的样本来验证这一观点。研究结果表明，技术对全球粮食安全具有积极影响。对经合组织国家来说，影响主要是对粮食供应的影响，而对非经合组织国家来说，影响主要是对粮食负担能力的影响。此外，近年来，经合组织国家已经认识到技术对其粮食安全的重要性日益增加。

期刊介绍： Global Food Security plays a vital role in addressing food security challenges from local to global levels. To secure food systems, it emphasizes multifaceted actions considering technological, biophysical, institutional, economic, social, and political factors. The goal is to foster food systems that meet nutritional needs, preserve the environment, support livelihoods, tackle climate change, and diminish inequalities. This journal serves as a platform for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to access and engage with recent, diverse research and perspectives on achieving sustainable food security globally. It aspires to be an internationally recognized resource presenting cutting-edge insights in an accessible manner to a broad audience.
