Résumé

This study examines the contribution of agricultural innovation to sustainable food system development in Algeria during 2010–2024, using a descriptive-analytical approach based on official data from the World Bank, FAO, FAOSTAT, and Algerian sources. The findings show improvements in agricultural productivity, irrigation, value added, mechanization, and high-value crop production, with positive effects on food security and export competitiveness. However, water scarcity, climate change, and dependence on food imports remain major challenges. The study concludes that strengthening research, digital and climate-smart agriculture, and integrated policies is essential for a resilient and sustainable Algerian food system.
