Abstract

Throughout history, human societies have strived to ensure that every individual has access to sufficient food, promoting an active and healthy life. Having access to enough food persists as a pressing issue at the intersection of nature, society, and technology although there is a significant worldwide endeavour in this era. Food security can be defined as a condition that all individuals can access enough, nutritious and safe food physically, socially and economically. This paper contributes to the literature by examining the potential factors that affects the food security in Malaysia from 1990 to 2019. The factors included are Carbon Dioxide Emission, Gross Domestic Product, and Fertility Rate. Besides, fertility rate is mainly highlighted in the study as there are only limited studies that explored on these effects. Neo Malthusian Theory, Anthropogenic Global Warming Theory and Keynesian Theory were used to support the variables and several tests such as ADF Test, ARDL Bounds Test, ECM Test, ARCH Test, LM Test, CUSUM Test, and VIF Test have been used to estimate and validate the model. The findings show that, all factors have significant relationship on food security in the long run. Overall, the fertility rate captured in this study provides great effects to food security in Malaysia during the period of 1990 to 2019.
