Abstract

Since food represents as basic need for everybody, issue of its security represents a global threat for humanity. This fact is represented in the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 2 which aim to end hunger and achieve food security. Currently, majority of developing countries are facing issue of food security and need way out. Current study, which adopts qualitative approach, aims to critically assess the existing proposed models. It identifies 19 existing studies that attempted to propose a solution using Islamic social finance, specifically waqf. While several provided interesting and ideal models to address the main issue on food security, most are normative without considering the existing regulatory framework, local context, and ecosystem in the respective countries. This study provides assessment summary to identify main takeaways to improve relevant policies and enhance future studies in this area. It is expected that waqf can open transformative actions in providing solution of food insecurity.
