| Increasing vulnerability, political instability, and socioeconomic challenges have significantly worsened food insecurity in Afghanistan. Afghanistan is mainly affected by the serious worldwide problem of food insecurity because of its lengthy history of political unrest, war, and natural disasters throughout the last two decades (2000 to 2022). The causes and historical patterns of food insecurity in Afghanistan are examined in this research, which also covers the country's dependence on agriculture and vulnerability to external shocks and natural catastrophes. A sizable section of the populace finds it challenging to get enough wholesome food because of political unpredictability, persistent conflict, and inadequate administration. This study aims to conduct a comprehensive trend analysis of food insecurity in Afghanistan from 2000 to 2022 and quantify the scale and progression of the crisis. This study employs an explanatory research approach, using secondary data from institutions such as the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) and the World Bank. Food insecurity in Afghanistan has been exacerbated by economic instability, warfare, and environmental challenges. Fluctuating per capita income and negative growth rates have severely limited impoverished populations' access to food. To ensure long-term food access and stability, we must address food insecurity via sustainable agricultural investments, economic recovery programs, and more significant social safety nets. | ||
