Egypt has a fragile wheat system, this research focuses on investigating how to reach a wheat system resilience, by analyzing the main actors of the wheat supply and demand, whose activities are influenced by a range of drivers, including stresses and shocks. A conceptual framework for the wheat system is created with a holistic view. This results in identifying the leverage points that can affect wheat resilience in Egypt, and propose relevant policy options for decision-makers. The research shows that the seriousness of shocks facing imports at the forefront, due to the difficulty of controlling them as well as the difficulty of predicting them, followed by shocks related to consumption because they require political will and decisions that may result in serious social impacts and public anger, and then come in third place the seriousness of shocks in the production stage, since the ways to confront them, predicting them, and preparing for them is easier than the other two shocks.
