Abstract: Egyptian agriculture is challenged by increasing demands from a rapidly expanding population, and insufficient water and arable land resources, exacerbated by the expected impact of climate change further reducing these resources. Recent government policy has focused on large projects to meet increasing demand, with a reduced focus on the livelihoods and economic sustainability of low-income farmers. Insights into variations and changes within the farming population are needed to improve the effectiveness of policies to meet these challenges.
