| Agriculture is a strategic sector of the national economy; it contributes a large percentage of the gross domestic product, with a value of about 14.2%. Also, the agricultural sector also plays an important role in absorbing a large portion of Egyptian employment estimated at about 25% of Egypt's total labor market. Agricultural products contribute about 17% of total Egyptian merchandise exports to foreign markets, which makes the agricultural sector one of the important national income resources. The research aims to study the impact of the agricultural sector on Egyptian national security, and build a proposed strategy for agricultural development in the economic field, using the descriptive analysis and the deductive methods. The study concluded that, the relationship between agriculture and national security is represented in the impact of agriculture on the national economy, and thus the economic dimension affects the rest of the of the dimensions of national security, which in turn affects the national security of the country. This study showed that, despite the internal and external challenges and global crises, Egypt is able to achieve food security. Also, some suggested policies or recommendations of the development of the agricultural sector in Egypt were concluded. And God Almighty believed when He made food and security the best blessings, as He says in His decisive Book (the Holy Quran) Who has fed them from hunger and made them safe from fear. | ||||
