| description | The world has seen continued famine, starvation and malnutrition. Starvation and
malnutrition have a negative impact on health, leading to poor productivity, and thus
gradually affecting overall economic growth. This paper estimates the impact of food security
on the economic growth of dry-land developing countries. The objective of this study is to
measures the impact of food security on economic growth directly and through poverty, life
expectancy, and total employment. This study employs a dynamic panel data model known as
the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM). The finding of this study has proved that food
security has an impact on economic growth, especially in dry-land developing countries. This
research has identified that food security has a significant positive impact on food security,
as an increase in food security increases economic growth. Nonetheless, food security also
has an impact on economic growth in terms of life expectancy, total employment, and
poverty, whereas life expectancy and total employment with better food security have a
positive impact on economic growth, reduce in poverty, achieving food security and
enhancing economic growth. |
