Abstract
هذي المداخلة من أجل المشاركة في الملتقى الدولي في المحور الثاني This study explores sustainable rural development as a strategic option for achieving foodsecurity and social justice in developing countries. It highlights the growing gap between rural food production and urban consumption, which exacerbates poverty, rural-urban migration, and environmental degradation. The paper critically evaluates traditional development models and proposes an alternative framework centered on sustainable agriculture, local empowerment, and integrated policy reform. Emphasis is placed on inclusive approaches that engage all stakeholders—particularly smallholder farmers, women, and youth—in co-creating resilient and equitable food systems. The study underlines the need for national and international policies that safeguard land rights, promote environmental sustainability, and enhance rural livelihoods. Innovations in agriculture, coupled with stronger governance structures, are viewed as essential tools to address systemic imbalances in the food system. The paper concludes that sustainable rural development is a vital pathway to long-term food sovereignty, ecological preservation, and socioeconomic equity.
