This article aims to highlight a topic of great importance to human security; That is, food security, which is concerned with ensuring that the individual has access to adequate and safe food as a human right; This is because food is the soul of life, and without it, it would not be. Muslim jurists, past and present, talked about ways and means of food security and how to achieve it with the aim of providing sufficient food for the community. On the other hand, the parliament in the Kurdistan Region - Iraq spoke about how to achieve food security through some articles in the law on agricultural development issued in “2008 AD” No. “4”, under the title “Law for the Protection and Development of Agricultural Production in the Kurdistan Region – Iraq ". This research evaluates the legal articles related to achieving food security contained in the Law of "Protecting and Developing Agricultural Production in the Kurdistan Region - Iraq" in Islamic jurisprudence; This is in terms of the extent to which those articles agree with Islamic jurisprudence. The first topic is devoted to the concept of the term food security, its objectives, and its components. In the second topic, the light was shed on the texts on food security contained in the Law "Protecting and Developing Agricultural Production in the Kurdistan Region - Iraq", then the research showed the most important ways and means necessary to achieve food security in Islamic jurisprudence, and then compared and evaluated the legal texts contained in the law mentioned in Islamic jurisprudence. At the end of the research, the researcher reached a set of conclusions, including: What was stated in the law on “Protection and Development of Agricultural Production in the Kurdistan Region - Iraq” about food security, and how to achieve it is a very beautiful thing; The researcher considers it sufficient in the matter, and in comparison with Islamic jurisprudence, it shows that the only deficiency in this law that distinguishes it from Islamic jurisprudence is that it did not pay attention to the ethical aspect of the issue such as preventing monopoly, fraud, and other things that harm that security, just as he did not pay attention to the aspect of worship, which is usually all positive laws; Because it is a human condition, it works to organize worldly affairs and is not concerned with the accounts of the Hereafter.
