Although food seems abundant in the European Union, challenges related to specific aspects of security continue exist and require ongoing attention. A country’s depends on various economic, social, environmental, institutional factors, which are studied using several scientific research methodologies. The role institutions determining national success failure has been increasingly emphasized recent academic discourse. Our makes a novel contribution literature by integrating New Institutional Economics with metrics. It aims examine relationships between dimensions country-specific matrices twenty EU member states from 2012 2019. How strong were those relationships, how did they differ new old states? Food is proxied Global Security Index its three pillars (economic accessibility, physical availability, quality safety). country represented Worldwide Governance Indicators (regulatory quality, rule law, control corruption). Using indices as dependent variables, we apply multiple regression models identify determined over time. study revealed that 2019, there was no evidence sigma convergence or reduction dispersion (except for corruption) overall within EU20. domestic generally statistically significantly positively GFSI elements. weakest correlations EU20 linking variables safety. incorporating such formal contract enforcement property rights, affected EU20, mostgreatest impact safety, availability. dependence factors stronger Central Eastern Europe. exploratory results shed some light shaping security. However, further required gain more detailed understanding this phenomenon. findings suggest policymakers countries could enhance promote and, consequently, achieve Sustainable Development Goals effectively.
