Abstract
This paper talks about the energy sector in Pakistan and its current issues, the areas affected by the energy shortage crisis and the implications that has on the agricultural production and food security in Pakistan. The various stakeholders involved in the energy sector in Pakistan are identified along with their different levels of interest and influences. The paper presents case examples of China and Tajikistan to show the progress these two countries are making in the renewable energy domain to resolve food security. This paper then highlights how Pakistan is integrated in Global Value Chains (GVCs) for renewable energy and food security, where it stands in terms of other countries and how it can upgrade at environmental, socio-economic and technological levels. The paper also highlights how through the use of GVC analysis, the link between renewable energy and food security can be made and how Pakistan can improve its position in the GVC by resolving energy security which impacts food security. Furthermore, through the use of different policy tools, the paper outlines various policy options in detail and identifies the best alternative for Pakistan. An implementation design and strategy is also outlined. The paper concludes by summarizing the main points and by offering recommendations for Pakistan for the policy makers and the government.
