By 2075, Egypt's population will reach 200 million. Its arable land per capita will fall below 0.01 hectares. Its renewable freshwater will drop below 400 m³ per person - less than a third of the global scarcity threshold. And 96% of its edible oils will depend on global imports.
The question is not hypothetical. It is already unfolding.
Who Will Feed Egypt by 2075? is a rigorous, data-driven strategic outlook on one of the most consequential food security challenges of the 21st century. Drawing on 100 years of historical data - from Egypt's position as a modest food exporter in 1925 to its current status as the world's largest wheat importer - this report maps the forces reshaping Egypt's capacity to feed itself, and presents a clear-eyed assessment of what must change.
What this report covers:
This is not a pessimistic report. It is a strategic one. The solutions exist. The window to act is open - but narrowing.
Essential reading for policymakers, development economists, agricultural scientists, food security professionals, and anyone concerned with the future of the Arab world's most populous nation.
