Abstract
The study sought to identify the roles of the livestock marketing sector in enhancing food security in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in general. The methodology was a systematic review of previous studies regarding the concepts of livestock, the marketing sector, and food security. Findings showed that the livestock sector is an essential pillar in supporting global and national food security by providing meat and cheese products and their nutritional elements that affect human growth. However, the sector in the study sample suffers from high prices of production inputs such as feed, treatments, and veterinary medical consultations, and the lack of markets close to owners of Livestock and those who depend on grazing to provide food for animals, and who suffer from a scarcity of green spaces and pastures. The study also revealed some recommendations.
