Abstract

The Food Security Index (consists of 19 indicators) was developed to assess the impact of environmental determinants on the state of food security. The formation of the integral index was carried out using principal component analysis. The proportions of the inclusion of each of the 19 indicators are based on the eigenvalues of the 1st principal component that explains 48.37% of the variation. Identification of the environmental factors influence on the Food Security Index was carried out using panel data regression analysis (random-effect GLS regression) for the sample of 28 post socialistic countries for the period 2000-2016. Empirical results reveal a statistically significant positive effect of most ecological determinants of sustainable agro-management on food security. While the impact of growth in coal use for electricity and fossil fuels is insignificant. However, the increase in the consumption of electricity and growth of unproductive energy losses negatively affects the food security.

可持续农业的环境决定因素对国家粮食安全的影响

制定粮食安全指数(由19个指标组成)是为了评估环境决定因素对粮食安全状况的影响。利用主成分分析的方法确定了综合指标。19个指标中每个指标的包含比例基于第一主成分的特征值，该特征值解释了48.37%的变化。利用面板数据回归分析(随机效应GLS回归)对2000-2016年28个后社会主义国家的样本进行了环境因素对粮食安全指数的影响识别。实证结果表明，可持续农业管理的大多数生态决定因素对粮食安全具有统计学上显著的积极影响。而电力和化石燃料用煤增长的影响是微不足道的。然而，电力消费的增加和非生产性能源损失的增加对粮食安全产生了负面影响。
