| Problem in the continuous increase of the gap Arab food that exceeded $ 40 billion in the year with the availability of all the factors of production that enable the Arab world to bridge the food gap and export the surplus to other countries, the world around us was accelerated to increase the production of biofuels (fuel future) and the Arab world is still interested in oil production and employs much of its revenue in the production of biofuels. For research purposes and to achieve its objectives the following hypotheses were tested: 1 - The natural resources available in Sudan managed to bridge the food gap and achieving Arab countries food security. 2 - Sudan has factors that qualify it to achieve self-sufficiency of bio fuels to the Arab world while maintaining the acreage devoted to food production. - That the continued increase in the world's population with climate change and declining acreage are all factors which indicate that the world is on the verge of a food crisis. Therefore the Arab world needs to secure their food direct capital to invest in Arab countries eligible to fill the food gap. - Sudan has agricultural areas, livestock and water sources that can contribute to the estimated void achieving Arab countries food security. This only requires Arab capital and technology transfers to activate the role of scientific research to increase productivity expansion and vertical increase plantings, especially after completion of development projects as large as the Merowe Dam and Roseires dam which increase the irrigated area to about 4 million hectares. - Sudan needs investments estimated at $ 20 billion in the agricultural sector, both (plant and animal) and agro-processing to bridge the food gap and also secure a return of $ 40 billion annually to pay for food. - The results confirmed that Sudan has conducted all preliminary experiments successfully to produce bio fuels from a tree called (jatropha) and is currently preparing to plant 400 Thousand hectares to secure the production of fuel-friendly environments to meet domestic demand and issued note that Sudan produces ethanol currently from Bmusenai Kenana Sugar and White Nile and issued to EU countries. The research was presented several recommendations including: - Arab funds invested in Western countries are estimated at more than a trillion dollars and are subject to the risk of the global financial crisis, if only 10٪ of this amount was invested within the Arab world it can make the Arab world a powerful economic force, especially in the field of food production. The need to return the funds and migratory Arab cadres for the construction of the Arab world and strengthen the economies of all Arab countries, the integration of the factors of production. - Arab invest surplus funds and sovereign funds balances for investment in the agricultural sector, both the development of industry and the export of manufactured products to benefit from the added value. - Sudan Uncategorized globally within three countries contributing to the provision of food next to Canada and Australia for it to be political will on the part of Arab leaders to guide the Arab investments to Sudan to secure food for the Arab world. | ||||
