By definition, food security is the availability of food in a country and the access and affordability of food it has to the individuals within that country. The four pillars of food security are availability, access, uitilisation, and stability. However in recent years, the condition of food security around the world is worsening due to a couple factors, including climate change. Especially after the Covid-19 pandemic first became a widespread in 2019, the food security system in many countries has been greatly affected. This resulted in the increase report of food insecurity with 830 million people suffering in 2021. In relation to that, it is also reported that 45 million children are suffering from serious malnutrition.

As mentioned earlier, climate change is one of the main factors that contributed to the food insecurity crisis all over the world. Many agriculture producing countries are affected due to the increased frequency and severity of drought, which as a result led to the disruption of the world's food supply chains. Another main contributing factor to the food insecurity crisis is the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. This conflict contributed to the crisis as Ukraine is the main producer of wheat and corn while Russia is the world's producer of fertilisers, which caused the disruption in global food supply.

According to International Institute of Advanced Islamic Studies (IAIS) Malaysia, Malaysia is reported to have experienced 4.4 percent inflation in 2022 mainly from the increase of price of food items. Foods like flour and grain have gone up to ten percent increase, while dairy products and fresh meat increased up to 7.1 and 6.1 percent respectively. Out of 113 countries, Malaysia is ranked number 41 in the global food security index 2022. With regards to major food items being at only 45 percent, the country is having reduction in terms of its self-sufficiency level SSL. Because Malaysia imports 60 percent of its food produce, any international major disruptions will deeply impact the condition of food security in the country. Thus it is important for the country to have climate resilient agriculture strategies focusing on soil health, diversified production, and opting for ecological designs. It is also important for the country to shorten the food supply change by allowing farmers to directly sell their produce to the consumers without involving any middlemen, and by enhancing the implementation of agriculture. In July 2022, the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Industry announced the final stage of completion of crop insurance or Takaful to protect industry players and farmers from crop losses because of the climate change.

The main purpose of this article is to study the influencing factors and solutions to food security in Malaysia.

Hello everyone, I am Shi Xinran, director of the Ministry of Agriculture. I have been living in the Serdang district of Selangor over the years and have seen firsthand the impact of food insecurity on my community. According to reports, in 2021, many countries report that 830 million people are experiencing food insecurity, while 45 million children are already severely malnourished. Food safety is crucial to the development of a country and the stability of its people. Therefore, it is urgent to find out the hidden dangers that affect food safety and provide sustainable development strategies.

The first obvious factor is global climate change. Dr. Ahmad, the deputy CEO of IAIS Malaysia, he also mentioned "The world's condition of food security is worsening year by year mainly due to climate change" in his speech. Frequent occurrences of extreme weather and unstable temperatures affect the normal growth of grains. In Malaysia, frequent floods and rising temperatures have brought great hidden dangers to crop harvests. This disrupts the food supply chain. We have had to import large quantities of basic food from abroad.

The second reason is the Russo-Ukrainian war that started on February 24. Dr. Ahmad pointed out that Ukraine is a major producer of wheat and corn. At the same time, Russia is the world's fertilizer supplier. Due to the conflict between the two countries, the global food supply was disrupted. Due to its dependence on food imports, Malaysia has experienced inflation due to rising prices of a wide variety of food products including flour, grains, dairy products and fresh meat.

These major impacts have aroused strong national attention on food security in Malaysia. In 2022, Malaysia ranks 41st out of 113 countries in the Global Food Security Index. Although we are not yet facing a serious food security threat, it is necessary to pay attention to food security and prepare for the coming crisis.

I would like to make a few suggestions to give Malaysia an edge in agriculture and food.

Land is the prerequisite for all agricultural industries. If farmers own more land, they can produce more food. There are currently 8 million hectares of agricultural land in Peninsular Malaysia, and while most of it is used for oil palm and rubber, only a small portion is used for all agri-food activities in the country. Limited land supply has severely hampered agricultural development in Malaysia. Ensuring food security must be based on agricultural land reform. There must be a proper plan to allocate more agricultural land for food growing. Agricultural land reform must be comprehensive and thorough, remove obstacles caused by all stakeholders, and return land resources to real farmers.

Agriculture used to be considered backward and simple. With new farming technologies, modern farming is now a high-tech, high-investment business. Modern agriculture can apply technology throughout the supply chain. Technology can transform our agricultural sector into a productive and efficient modern farming industry. This will reduce production costs and keep our pre-farm prices competitive. Take growing fruit as an example. Modern fruit growing begins with laboratory research to produce high-quality seeds. Afterward, farmers invested in modern greenhouses with IoT-based climate control and fertilization optimization to save costs and prevent waste. Modern technology can use cameras to identify pests and automatically spray pesticides to kill them. Drones can efficiently fertilize and so on. With higher yields and a stable supply, we can reduce imports of vegetables and rice from abroad. This will improve food security in Malaysia.

Just like any other industry, farming requires talent and investment. The main challenges facing agriculture are the long-term return on investment and the lack of talent in the sector. To attract talent and investment, governments must encourage investment. When farmers see potential profits, they will invest and attract new farmers into the sector. When more farmers make money from farming, they produce more. Only when more and more talents enter the agricultural industry can we see more possible opportunities and continuous development.

With the right measures, improving food security in Malaysia is not a dream. These are some of my thoughts, and I sincerely hope that the development of food safety in Malaysia will get better and better.

Climate change, one of the biggest environmental issues that our world faces, poses numerous risks to us. With air pollution, increased global temperatures and wildfires typically being the main worry, people tend to forget that climate change also has an effect on food security, and while food

Food security is a very critical problem all around the world. Many factors such as climate change, political instability and economy crisis. Especially during the pandemic, with restrictions of the import and export of food back then, food insecurity was clearly affected by everyone around the world due to the limited stock of food. In Malaysia, Gardenia bread loaf seems to always be out of stock once they restock at supermarkets nearby.

According to IAIS Malaysia (2022), Dr Ahmad Badri Abdullah reported that there were 830 million people affected by food insecurity in 2021 and 45 million children affected by malnutrition worldwide. The big numbers clearly show that food security is crucial. Why? Let us dive deep into this topic to understand better the factors leading to food insecurity.

First, food security depends on the physical food supply in a country. For example, Malaysia depends 60% of import process for supplying food in the country (Abdullah, 2022). Therefore, if there is any international crisis, food stock in Malaysia will suffer greatly. Like during the Russia-Ukraine War, the stock on wheat and corn were terribly affected. This political crisis took a toll on the agriculture sector too, as Russia is the biggest supply for fertilisers.

Second, financial crisis could also affect food security. During the pandemic, a lot of people lost their jobs. Especially people with families, this was a big concern in order to be able to provide for their family members. Other than that, inflation which is currently happening in Malaysia, is affecting people around the country. Prices increase drastically, leaving people no choice but to reduce their food portion so that everyone can get a chance to eat.

Third, food with sufficient nutrients contribute to food security as well. Due to climate change, crops are badly affected. This causes a number of decline for food supply. Food quality must be maintained to ensure consumers get enough nutrients.

So, now that we have come to understand the factors and look at the examples, what can we do to improve food security in Malaysia?

First and foremost, we can start by enhancing the agricultural sector by reforming the lands. Make sure that the agricultural lands are suitable for crops to preserve the quality of the crops. Technology advancements can also contribute to the improvement as the time production will be more efficient with machine upgrades and good maintenance of these machines.

Second, we should all join hands in economy crisis recovery. The sooner the crisis ends, the sooner the inflation rate decreases. During this period, everyone must care for each other and help out one another to make sure everyone can have food supply to provide for their family members. As a member of a society, giving aid to those in need is a way of showing the unity as a community and to live harmoniously and peacefully together.

Everyone must play a part in ensuring food security can preserve to everyone. Especially children who are still growing and in need of a lot of nutrients, they need to be taken care of and to be focused on in the recovery of food security all around the world.
