Egypt. Potential food price increases and lack of job opportunities, both in Egypt
and abroad could further affect the vulnerability of Beheira.
Climate impact on Egyptian agriculture: An efficiency analysis approach. Climate
change has been identified as a major threat, especially to vulnerable regions,
especially Africa. Two main factors affect agricultural growth that are labor and
agricultural land together with other factors that can help to boost food production;
the development of strong market infrastructure and a transportation network that
facilitate the supply of food. All these factors are impacted by climate change, which
leads to a negative impact on food security. Since climate change may cause a
reduction in agricultural production, impact negatively logistical infrastructure which
may reduce access to food, a loss in natural resources impacting the sustainability of
using these resources, and finally changing the cropping pattern of a region affecting
the needed nutrition requirements of these regions. Agricultural land, labor, and are
the most productive input. Maize and rice production exhibit increasing rate return
to scale, meaning that maize and rice producers could become more profitable with
larger operations. Our empirical findings in the inefficiency equation indicate that
average maximum temperature and humidity have a significant positive effect on
technical inefficiency. Results of the efficiency scores show, on average, that Behera,
Gharbia, Kafr El-Shiek and Sharkia are more efficient in producing wheat and maize
compared to rice, while Dakahlia is more technically efficient in Maize compared
with rice and wheat.
Green sustainable development (GSD) is one of the most valuable goal that
everybody looking forward. It is clear that the Nexus approach is very important
issue toward meeting this goal. Meanwhile Water—Climate-food nexus is always
supporting GSD. This will happen by applying sectorial interrelationships for
these areas. whatever, it is essential need to defined the measures, instatements
tools, communicate, coordinate and implementing plan between those sectors and
put it throw the national mainstream policy for sustainable development. In this
context, Egypt has taken many steps as presented in this chapter at international and
National levels for achieving these goals but there is still some challenges. Lack
of public awareness and communication between private, governmental, and nongovernmental sectors are major challenges. Meanwhile, increasing knowledge and
public awareness can be powerful instruments in support of policy change towards
a more integrated WCF-nexus perspective.
4 Recommendations
A key aspect of climate change impacts is the ability to adapt to future challenges.
We argue that mitigation and adaptation need built-in flexibility to achieve this goal.
Throughout this book project, the editorial’ teams noted some areas that could be
explored to further improvement. Based on the authors’ findings and conclusions, this
section offers a set of recommendations providing suggestions for future researchers,
stakeholders and decision making regrouped by subjects:
