Food insecurity is a major global development challenge, requiring investment in agriculture, poverty reduction, and conservation of natural resources to ensure universal access to food. This study aimed to identify and analyze the linkages between key food and water security components. The target population included experts in food and water security, particularly faculty members and practitioners, with 15 participants selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a questionnaire, validated by agricultural management and development experts at the University of Tehran, and its reliability was confirmed through theoretical saturation. The DEMATEL technique was used for data analysis. Results revealed that the sustainability of water access had the greatest impact on other water and food security components, while food consumption had the least influence. Food availability was identified as the most influenced component, whereas economic capacity for water supply was the least influenced. The sustainability of food access was highlighted as the most critical factor for improving food security. The study emphasizes sustainable natural resource management, investment in innovative technologies, and increased resilience to climate change to enhance water and food security. Additionally, economic policies should be designed to improve the economic capacity for water and food access, particularly for low-income groups. These measures can foster more sustainable and equitable systems in water and food security.
