The Issues And Challenges Of Food Security In Algeria

Authors : Bouabbache Aissa .

Abstract

Food security has become a major strategic issue for all countries ‎today. In this regard, increasing efforts are made to ensure not only ‎stable access to sufficient food, responding to the constant growing ‎population, but also to address other challenges, such as climate ‎change, geopolitical tensions, and market volatility. Countries that rely ‎on imports to cover their deficit in staple products, such as Algeria, are ‎vulnerable to external shocks. Therefore, strengthening the local ‎agricultural sector, managing water resources, reducing dependence on ‎international markets, and adapting to climate change must be at the ‎core of any strategy aimed at enhancing the country’s food security
