| Abstract | ||
| The general aim of policy is to overcome the problems and obstacles that hinder its objectives. To establish a comprehensive and sound agricultural strategy, it is necessary to scientifically identify the problems that impede development, mapping out the interrelationships between various issues at multiple levels. Therefore, the first step in solving any problem is defining it, determining its dimensions, understanding the causes that led to it, and its impact in creating other issues. The primary focus of the research was to identify the main problems facing the agricultural sector, analyze each problem individually, and outline a detailed diagram of the interactive relationships among these problems. The research employed an inductive method to gather and compile the issues facing the agricultural sector in Egypt, utilizing the problem tree approach to present all problems in a unified format that facilitates an overview of Egyptian agriculture issues. To clarify the relationship between these problems, the study used the quantitative standard method, specifically Granger causality, to determine the direction of each problem and its relationship with other issues. Additionally, an effective executive strategy was drawn up to address these problems. The study recommended the necessity of developing specialized agricultural development strategies for each region of the country, tailored to economic, social, environmental, and cultural characteristics unique to each region. It also advocated for establishing and activating a policy of 'advanced agricultural industry' specific to each region, aiming to transform agriculture into an advanced and thriving industry. Furthermore, the study emphasized the importance of enhancing the concept of 'good governance' across all fields and activities within the agricultural sector. | ||
