Abstract

Food security is one of the topics worthy of attention in Jordan, in light of the continuous increase in the population numbers and the significant decline in agricultural land areas. The study aimed to identify the trends of change in land area planted with Wheat and barley in Jordan in astray of the population growth, and determine the size of the change in the production and the consumption of it in Jordan and how it relates with the population growth. The study used a descriptive research method, to achieve its objectives; data were collected from various sources, such as scientific books, journals, internet and the official statistical reports. The study found that the trend of the change in land planted with Wheat in the area of Jordan is a decline in astray of the population growth, as well as the general trend of the Wheat and barley production tends to decline or decline during the period studied in astray of the population growth, The study also found that trend of the change in the Wheat and barley consumption in Jordan is moving towards to increasing or rising in astray of high population growth. The study recommended adjusting the rates of the population growth in order to reduce the population increasing and urban sprawl toward farmland, and the reduction of the labor migration from the countryside to the cities, as well as the use of the modern technological methods in growing grain so as to increase the volume of production by raising the productivity rate per acre to compensate for the decline in the size of cultivated areas, The study also recommended to adjust the Wheat and barley consumption pattern of the population to reduce the high rates of consumption, by following the appropriate government and private policies.

الملخص

يعد الأمن الغذائي من المواضيع الجديرة بالاهتمام في الأردن وذلك في ضوء التزايد المستمر في أعداد السكان والتراجع الكبير في مساحات الأراضي الزراعية. حيث هدفت الدراسة التعرف إلى اتجاهات التغير في مساحات الاراضي المزروعة بالقمح والشعير في الأردن في ضوء الزيادة السكانية، وتحديد حجم التغير في انتاجهما واستهلاكهما ومدى ارتباطه بالزيادة السكانية في الأردن. اعتمدت الدراسة المنهج الوصفي لتحقيق أهدافها، وتم جمع بياناتها من مصادر متنوعة أهمها: الكتب والمجلات العلمية والشبكة العنكبوتية والتقارير الإحصائية الرسمية. توصلت الدراسة إلى أن اتجاه التغير في مساحة الاراضي المزروعة بالقمح في الأردن هوالانخفاض في ضوء الزيادة السكانية، كما أن الاتجاه العام لإنتاج القمح والشعير يميل نحوالتراجع خلال الفترة المدروسة في ضوء الزيادة السكانية، كذلك توصلت الدراسة إلى أن اتجاه التغير في استهلاك القمح والشعير في الأردن يسير نحوالزيادة أوالارتفاع في ضوء الزيادة السكانية المرتفعة. اوصت الدراسة بضرورة ضبط معدلات النموالسكاني بغية الحد من الزيادة السكانية والزحف العمراني نحوالاراضي الزراعية، والحد من هجرة الايدي العاملة من الريف إلى المدن، وكذلك استخدام الاساليب التكنلوجية الحديثة في زراعة الحبوب وذلك لزيادة حجم الانتاج من خلال رفع معدل الانتاجية للدونم الواحد لتعويض التراجع في حجم المساحات المزروعة، كما اوصت الدراسة بضرورة ضبط نمط استهلاك القمح والشعير عند السكان للحد من معدلات الاستهلاك المرتفعة، باتباع السياسات الحكومية والاهلية المناسبة.
