• UAE, with its large scale import of wheat

• Cuba, with its consistent approach to organic farming 

• Sudan, with its mechanised rain-fed farming

Answer 1

Cuba, with its consistent approach to organic farming 

Explanation:

Following the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1989, Cuba lost its access to subsidised chemical fertilisers and pesticides. To combat the resulting severe food crisis, the nation successfully transitioned to large-scale organic farming, urban agriculture, and agroecological methods, making it a global model for sustainable food security.
