Abstract:
The impacts of climate change, conflicts, the spread of infectious diseases, and global economic downturns have greatly affected food production, disrupted supply chains, and hindered access to affordable, nutritious food. It poses risks to both local and global food security, in addition to agricultural market competitiveness. Given the increasing concerns about climate change and its implications for global agriculture and food security, evaluating agricultural competitiveness via a composite scale to measure the effects of climate change would be beneficial. This study examined a global agricultural competitiveness index (GACI) framework developed through a systematic review and an expert survey. The results show that most countries experienced a decline in their competitiveness scores with agricultural assessment in the context of the impact of climate change. This framework can serve as a global benchmark for assessing and comparing national and international standing. Furthermore, it can help policy development aimed at promoting sustainable and inclusive agriculture, ultimately contributing to improved global food security.
