Abstract

This research aims to analyze the role of digital agriculture in enhancing food security in Algeria, in light of the increasing challenges associated with the scarcity of natural resources, climate change, and geopolitical fluctuations affecting global food markets. The study adopted a descriptive analytical approach based on a literature review and an analysis of reports from international organizations such as the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the World Bank. The results showed that Algeria still relies heavily on importing grains, oils, and sugar, making its food security fragile and vulnerable to external fluctuations. Accordingly, the research concluded that achieving food security in Algeria through digitalization requires strong political will, sustainable investments, and the modernization of digital infrastructure and legal frameworks, in addition to strengthening agricultural scientific research.
