Abstract
Over the last three decades, most of the countries of the world have opted for a free market economy. The liberalization, privatization and globalization model (LPG) with a strong belief in market forces also needs to accommodate the Sustainable Development Goals with a set deadline of 2030. Zero hunger all over the world is one of the most important sustainable development goals and is considered sustainable development goal 2. The pivotal question in this background is whether the growing importance of market forces reflected through higher trade, ease of doing business, and many others can lead to zero hunger or global food security. Again, why do some countries with a trade surplus in food trade fail to ensure adequate food for their own people and end up at the lower quantile of the global hunger index? To investigate the mentioned research questions, the present paper considers select countries of the world over a specific period subject to the availability of the data regarding relevant variables and opts for a panel data analysis. In this endeavour the paper carefully avoids any spatial and temporal bias.
