This study focuses on the concept of virtual water and its critical role in achieving water and food security in Egypt, a country facing severe water scarcity and increasing demand due to rapid population growth. Virtual water refers to the water embedded in the production of goods and food, making it a valuable tool for analyzing water use efficiency and losses within the agricultural sector. The study aims to quantify the virtual water balance for key food commodity groups, including grains, legumes, sugar crops, oils, vegetables, fruits, and animal products, during the period 2006-2022. It evaluates the quantities of virtual water in domestic production, imports, exports, availability for consumption, and water loss. Using descriptive and quantitative statistical methods, the research identifies patterns and trends in virtual water use and loss, employing secondary data and regression models to explore the relationships between these variables. The findings reveal significant variations in water use and loss among different crops and animal products, with annual growth rates differing across categories. The results highlight the importance of reducing water losses and improving water-use efficiency to enhance food security. Recommendations include adopting modern irrigation technologies, raising awareness about virtual water, and aligning agricultural policies with sustainable water management practices. By understanding virtual water dynamics, policymakers can optimize water resource allocation, reduce dependency on food imports, and ensure long-term agricultural sustainability. This study underscores the need for integrated strategies to address the intertwined challenges of water scarcity and food security in Egypt and Middle East region.
