Résumé

The issue of food security in Algeria is considered a major challenge facing the country amidst continuous economic and environmental changes. It is a vital and sensitive issue related to providing sufficient and healthy food for all of the country's population. Food security in Algeria faces several challenges including desertification, water scarcity, climate change, and heavy reliance on food imports. Algeria is moving towards enhancing self-sufficiency by supporting local agriculture and developing agricultural technologies to increase production. However, there is still an urgent need for effective measures including improving water resource management, enhancing climate change adaptation, and improving food supply chains to address current and future challenges in food security. The study focuses on analyzing the reality of food security in Algeria with a focus on identifying and understanding the factors affecting the state's ability to ensure the provision of sufficient, safe, and nutritious food for all its citizens.
