| description | This research aimed to assess the ability of organic agriculture in improve the state of food security, and the stability of agricultural production compared to the current levels of production. To achieve this objective, we followed a practical method in terms of purpose, and non-experimental in terms of data collection, the research tool was a questionnaire whose validity was confirmed by experts in this field, and its reliability by the Alpha Cronbach criterion, and the results showed that there is a positive effect of organic farming on enhancing economic return and increasing profitability. Moreover, enhanced the economic impact of the producers as a result of using local inputs by about 0.95 with the possibility of opening new markets for organic products by about 0.90 which is hindered by raising the efficiency of agricultural production in the cultivated areas with low productive inputs, by about 0.55 following an environmental impact through the production of safe and healthy food of high quality and value that reflects the effects of Improve the health of consumers and individuals by about 0.83. Which means the ability of organic agriculture to achieve food security requirements with the same values referred to, and finally, the study recommended in its conclusion the need to develop policies for organic agriculture adopted by government institutions to support them, to reduce the obstacles that prevent the transition from traditional to organic agriculture. |
