Analysis Of The Food Security Index Situation In Algeria Through The Global Food Security Index (GFSI) Indicators

Abstract

This study addresses the issue of food security in Algeria and its achievement through the levels and indicators of food security. The objective of this study is to examine the outcomes of the Global Food Security Index (GFSI) and the Food Sustainability Index, both published by The Economist Impact. The findings indicate that Algeria has made tangible efforts to achieve food security, reflected in the improvement of its Global Food Security Index results in 2021.

However, the study concludes that achieving food security in Algeria has not reached the desired level, as the food gap continues to widen. Algeria's performance in some indicators was weak or very weak, particularly in areas related to sustainability, adaptability, nutritional standards, and supply chain infrastructure. This underscores the need to intensify efforts to develop these indicators and to establish the foundations of food security.
