Abstract:

 This study analyzes the long-term effects of economic and environmental factors on food security in BRICS-T countries. Variables such as food security index, carbon emissions, per capita income growth, population growth rate, and inflation were examined. Using Panel cointegration tests and the FMOLS methods, the findings indicate that carbon emissions have a positive impact on food security, although this effect poses risks to environmental sustainability. The results highlight the need for investment in sustainable agricultural technologies, the preservation of natural resources, and enhanced international cooperation. The study provides a novel perspective to the literature by considering the unique economic and environmental conditions of BRICS-T countries.

 Bu çalışma, BRICS-T ülkelerinde gıda güvenliğini etkileyen ekonomik ve çevresel faktörlerin uzun dönemli etkilerini analiz etmektedir. Çalışmada, gıda güvenliği endeksi, karbon emisyonları, kişi başına düşen gelir, nüfus artış oranı, ve enflasyon değişkenleri incelenmiştir. Panel eşbütünleşme testi ve FMOLS yöntemleri kullanılarak, karbon emisyonlarının gıda güvenliği üzerinde pozitif bir etkisi olduğu, ancak bu etkinin çevresel sürdürülebilirlik açısından risk oluşturabileceği tespit edilmiştir. Bulgular, sürdürülebilir tarım teknolojilerine yatırım yapılması, doğal kaynakların korunması ve uluslararası işbirliklerinin artırılması gerektiğine işaret etmektedir. Çalışma, BRICS-T ülkelerinin farklı ekonomik ve çevresel koşulları ışığında literatüre yeni bir bakış açısı sunmaktadır.
