Abstract

This paper examines the role of sustainable agriculture within the expanded framework of national security, emphasizing its relevance to non-traditional security threats. It contributes to the literature by positioning sustainable agriculture as strategic infrastructure that supports food security, environmental resilience, and social stability. Employing a qualitative research design based on a review of peer-reviewed academic literature, policy documents, and institutional reports, the study analyzes key concepts linking food systems and national security. The findings indicate that sustainable agricultural practices strengthen national resilience by reducing dependence on food imports, mitigating environmental degradation, and lowering the risk of food-related social unrest. These results suggest that integrating sustainable agriculture into national security frameworks is essential for addressing contemporary and future security challenges.
