While Egypt’s agriculture sector is well established, the country continues to face challenges
related to climate change, urbanization, a rapidly expanding population, and food and water
insecurity.” In not more than 200 words, discuss the above-mentioned challenges that face
agriculture in Egypt. Despite technological advances, such as improved crops, genetically
modified organisms, and irrigation systems, climate remains a major factor in agricultural
productivity as well as the state of soil properties and natural communities.The impact of
climate on agriculture is more related to changes in local climate patterns than global climate
patterns. The Earth's surface temperature has increased by about 1.5 degrees Fahrenheit
[0.83 degrees Celsius] since 1880. The Urban expand is urban problem that cities suffer
from .It is considered more changing reasons for the investment of the land.This change is
appeared in area which is devoted for agricultural usage. This can be shown in Al- Ghraat
region which is followed to Al-Adhamyia province in the North of Baghdad .It is agricultural
area where all the constituents are available (natural and human) However , during the
comparison between usages from(1995 -2016) we can see very clear shortage of
agricultural usage very clear shortage of agricultural usage compares with residential
(housing) usage and its horizontal expand at the expense of the agricultural land and that
lead to many urban problems like, look of services (water, electricity sewage) The population
problem is one of the most important problems that the state works to avoid in order not to
destroy the state's economy by decreasing or increasing the number of the population in the
state. in some countries. But if the country suffers from an increase in population and a
shortage of resources, then this is a bigger problem than in other countries, because an
increase in population may lead to the consumption of all foodstuffs. The causes of food and
water insecurity are the change in soil use, the rise in prices, climate change and population
increase. All of these are the reasons that Egypt faces within the problem of food and water
security
