By 2050, around 9 billion people will need to be fed. Food security is becoming a global challenge, especially for net food importers. Developing Countries, and mainly the African ones are net food importers suffering from food insecurity. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization’s estimates (FAO, 2014), 33 countries, including 26 Africans, need external food assistance due to conflicts, crop failures and high domestic food price.

For the Middle East and North Africa countries, they suffer from triple burden of Malnutrition: under nutrition, overweight and obesity. The prevalence of overweight and obesity are above 50% in all countries of the region. In 2014, 16.9% of children are stunted and 7.3% of children are underweight. Such burden has large social and economic losses; productivity losses and direct health care costs (The Economist Global Food Security Index, 2014, Fan, 2014 and Tielens and Candel, 2014). Moreover, Conflicts and civil insecurity are important driven of food insecurity in the MENA region. Around 50% of the Yemeni population is in need of food assistance. More than 20% of the population is food insecure in Iraq (World Bank, 2012 and OuldAhmed, 2014)
