Water, energy and food are essential resources for human survival and economic development. Jordan is among the most dependent countries in the world on foreign energy sources and has to struggle with a stark water scarcity, being one of the water poorest countries in the world. In addition to poor water resources for irrigation and limited agricultural land, an appraisal of food security in the country also reveals its vulnerability.

Despite these challenges, the Jordanian government is clearly determined to find solutions and to achieve its objectives of being placed one of the most vibrant and modernized economies of the region. This was reflected in the country’s vision of 2022-2033.
