Authors : Rabehi Fatima . Kermia Nesrine .

Abstract

The study addresses the diagnosis of the food security situation in Algeria, where the world has recently witnessed a deterioration of this issue, which has become a general concern rather than a specific one due to political, climatic, health, and other circumstances. In this context, we aimed to assess the overall situation in Algeria regarding the dimensions of food security, including factors such as production indicators, exports, imports, available quantities, and self-sufficiency rates.The study also focused on proposing a strategic vision for the country and the challenges it faces in ensuring food security without relying on dependency and reducing the import bill. The research findings indicate that there are efforts by the higher authorities to move away from a rent economy, with a particular focus on the agricultural sector. However, according to the statistical results, they still fall below the average for achieving self-sufficiency. Therefore, our attention in the conclusion was directed towards gathering recommendations from a group of organizations interested in how to achieve the expected food security, which can be applied .
