Agriculture is an important element in the achievement of food security and one of the most important resources in the promotion of the national economy. Iraq suffers from inadequate agricultural investments, non-exploitation of its resources , as well as the low level of technology ,lack of financial allocations , credit facilities and human qualified staff, so Iraq has steadily increased dependence on imports to meet domestic food needs, he was importing about half of his food supply since the1980s. By 2002, between 80 and 100 percent of many basic staples (wheat, rice, sugar, vegetable oil, and protein meals) were imported. The role of agricultural sector in Iraqi economy can be seen through its contribution to GDP which had been declining rapidly due to the lack of a clear strategy for sustainable agricultural development, Policies aimed at supporting agriculture have often led to inefficiencies and decreased production. The average value added in the agricultural sector in Iraq as percent of GDP had been declining from 16.23 percent in 1968 to a minimum of 2.0 percent in 2019, and a maximum of 20.59 percent in 1995. For comparison, the world average in 2019 based on 144 countries is 10.46 percent. To achieve sustainable agriculture development the optimum use of natural resources, human resources, capital resources and technical resources are required. Strategies may directly improve the efficiency, effectiveness, and management of agricultural development. The revolution in the agricultural sector can make it an engine sector of the economy and supportive of economic development.

Iraq has a high level of corruption making it one from the eighth most corrupt country in the world. It has failed to pass effective investment, tax, and property laws to secure both domestic and foreign investment as well as to create effective security forces to protect its infrastructure and businesses. The large disparities in living standards, development failures, high unemployment rates and low standards of living are among the reasons that contributed to encourage terrorism in Iraq. In the light of this problem the study hypothesis represent with " empower people and expand their choices will be an important factor in reducing terrorism and this will make people eager to maintain economic and social investments". The study reached a number of results, the most important of which is the impact of terrorism on the level of human development in Iraq through the analysis of its indicators (education, health and income). We note that it has a negative impact on human development. The human development index was good in the nineties as one of the best levels, the HDI reached its highest value in 1990 (0.712)) , that was the highest value for human development in Iraq, and then the value of the HDI was reduced to (0.633) in 2005 , it became (0.642) in 2013. This value puts Iraq among countries with intermediate human development. In the light of the above results the recommendations focused on the need to address the economic, social and political causes of terrorism.
