Abstract: 
Food security is a complex, multifaceted issue influenced by culture, environment, and geographical location. Food security is built on four pillars such as food availability, food access, food utilization and stability in food. The purpose of this study is to exploit the sustainable food security to learn how and whether Oman characteristics influence food security. This study is based on exploratory research by reviewing available literature on food safety in developing countries. The government of Oman is realizing the importance of food security, and this is part of the national strategy. The study will help policy makers focus on more useful policy tools in their endeavor to maintain or improve production and distribution within their food systems, and better plan for the many challenges that could face the country. Oman is ensuring that its citizens have access to enough affordable, safe, and quality food. Farmers, consumers, and jobseekers could all benefit from a three-point strategy to give Oman food security. The government may need to increase investment in new technologies and innovations to ensure food security. Implementing an integrated natural resource management system to facilitate food security. We need collective action at the local level, as well as the participation of government and nongovernmental organizations that work at the community level, can make major improvements to global food security in Sultanate of Oman.
