Abstract

Pakistan has been facing a complex food crisis, which greatly complicates the country’s food security. This research paper will explore the causes standing behind this crisis, while also evaluating the extent to which Pakistan foresaw these challenges and the effectiveness of the preventive measures implemented prior to its escalation. Moreover, the study will examine the international context of the food crisis and will focus on the case of India’s involvement in addressing the food crisis in Pakistan. By conducting a thorough critical analysis based on a detailed exploration of the crisis formation, this paper will outline the significance of global cooperation in combating food insecurity. It also seeks to analyse the collaboration and learn lessons from history on enhancing resilience against food insecurity and protecting Pakistan’s population from hunger. Through a synthesis of the sub-topics, a better understanding of Pakistan’s food crisis has been developed.
