Abstract:
The aim of this study is analyzed nexus between energy intensity, CO2
emissions with food security in Kazakhstan. As dependent Food security
indicator food production index and for energy intensity indicator Energy intensity level of primary energy were taken. As socio-economic indicators
GDP per capita and population growth are taken. Data cover 2000-2021 years and extracted from World Bank Data and Worldometers. As research
methods Nonlinear Autoregressive Distributed Lag (NARDL) Analysis and Linear Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) were applied. According
to NARDL method, Fossil CO2
emissions and GDP per capita found to be main factors from selected ones to affect food production index positively.
CO2
emissions (total) have positive effect on Food production index too. According to ARDL method, change in population correlated positively with
Food Production index in long term. Energy intensity impacts negatively in short term and positively in long term on Food Production Index. Results
imply that in Food production ecofriendly methods and new technology should be prioritized.
