Authors : Bessaid Oussama Nabil . Saidi Tarik .

Abstract

This study investigates Algeria's digital transformation strategy in the agrifood sector as a pathway to achieving sustainable food security between 2015-2024. Using mixed-methods analysis combining quantitative assessment of technology adoption rates with qualitative evaluation of policy frameworks, the research examines how artificial intelligence, precision agriculture, and digitalization contribute to food system resilience. Primary data collection included structured interviews with 73 stakeholders and analysis of agricultural technology deployment across three regions. Secondary data derived from Ministry of Agriculture statistics, World Bank databases, and FAO reports. Results indicate significant digital adoption: precision agriculture reached 71% coverage among commercial farms, smart irrigation systems expanded to 520,000 hectares, and AI-powered crop monitoring serves 2.3 million hectares. Food self-sufficiency improved from 52% to 79% during the study period, while agricultural productivity increased by 58% for major crops. Digital supply chain technologies reduced post-harvest losses from 28% to 11%, generating annual savings of $1.2 billion. The findings establish digitalization as a critical enabler of food security transformation, positioning Algeria as a regional leader in agricultural innovation.
