La sécurité alimentaire en Algérie Une étude analytique sur les céréales Food security in Algeria An analytical study on cereals

Abstract

The concept of food security had appeared in Algerian development policy since
independence, but especially since the 1990s, in response to the food problems posed by a
continuously expanding population. The cereals that provide bread, a staple food in the
Algerian diet, suffers from insufficient production due to several factors including two
limiting factors: water and soil. Massive wheat imports cover the necessary needs through
oil wealth with an uncertain future that only sustainable agricultural development and
good governance will achieve sustainable food security
