Abstract

Climate change and food security nowadays are global major issues due to their direct and indirect impacts on humans’ lives and their daily life affairs. Thus, these impacts have stimulated several organizations and authorities at all levels to seriously consider such issues in their deliberations and decisions in a way or another. In line with such widespread concerns, the Saudi authorities have also decisively taken these issues into considerations in the country’s 2030 strategic vision that was announced in detail on 25 April 2016 by the Royal Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman. Among the major objectives of the 2030 Saudi vision is to carry full responsibilities towards the participation in combating negative impacts of climate change on local and international levels as well as the achievement of the national food security. This chapter therefore is intended to shed lights on the situations of both climate change and food security in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It is therefore this chapter aims to thoroughly discuss food security under climate change scenario in the KSA. The chapter is structured to provide some general perspectives on the KSA and its agricultural sector, food security and its status in KSA, and climate change including specific thoughts on its situations and future expectations and its impact on the food security in Saudi Arabia.
