Abstract：
Rapid population growth, climate change, limited natural resources, and the COVID-19 pandemic contribute to increased global hunger, necessitating intensive efforts to ensure food security and nutrition (FSN). Previous FSN approaches covered some dimensions, but not all, resulting in significant gaps in food security indicators. The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) regions have received less attention in food security studies, thus far necessitating considerable effort to develop an appropriate analytical framework. This study reviewed articles and international reports of FSN indicators, drivers and policies, methods, and models and extracted the challenges and gaps from the global and UAE contexts. The UAE and the world have gaps in FSN drivers, indicators, and methods, necessitating potential solutions to meet future challenges such as rapid population growth, pandemics, and limited natural resources. As a result, we created a newly developed analytical framework that addresses the shortcomings of previous approaches such as sustainable food systems developed by FAO and the Global Food Security Index (GFSI) and covers all aspects of food security. Gaps in knowledge in FSN drivers and policies, indicators, big data, methods, and models were considered in the developed framework, which has specific advantages. The novel developed framework addresses all food security dimensions (access, availability, stability, and utilization), ensuring poverty reduction, food security, and nutrition security while outperforming previous approaches (i.e., FAO and GFSI). The developed framework could be used successfully not only in the UAE and MENA, but also, globally, helping to solve food insecurity and malnutrition for future generations. The scientific community and policymakers should disseminate such solutions to address global food insecurity and ensure nutrition for future generations in the face of rapid population growth, limited natural resources, climate change, and spreading pandemics.

摘要：
人口快速增长,气候变化,有限的自然资源，COVID-19大流行导致全球饥饿加剧，需要加大努力以确保粮食安全和营养（FSN）。以前的FSN方法涵盖了一些维度，但不是全部,导致粮食安全指标的巨大差距。海湾合作委员会(海合会)以及中东和北非(中东和北非地区)在粮食安全研究中受到的关注较少,到目前为止，需要付出相当大的努力来建立一个适当的分析框架。本研究回顾了FSN指标的文章和国际报告，司机和政策，方法,并从全球和阿联酋的环境中提取挑战和差距。阿联酋和世界在FSN驱动方面存在差距，指标,和方法，需要潜在的解决方案来应对未来的挑战，如人口快速增长，大流行,有限的自然资源。因此,我们创建了一个新开发的分析框架，解决了粮农组织制定的可持续粮食系统和全球粮食安全指数（GFSI）等以前方法的缺陷，涵盖了粮食安全的所有方面。FSN驱动因素和政策方面的知识差距，指标,大数据,方法,并在开发的框架中考虑了模型，具有特定优势。新开发的框架解决了所有粮食安全层面(访问，可用性,稳定性,和利用率)，确保减贫，粮食安全,和营养安全，同时优于以前的方法(即，粮农组织和GFSI)。开发的框架不仅可以在阿联酋和中东和北非地区成功使用，而且,全球,帮助解决子孙后代的粮食不安全和营养不良问题。科学界和决策者应传播此类解决方案，以解决全球粮食不安全问题，并在人口快速增长的情况下确保后代的营养，有限的自然资源，气候变化,传播流行病。
