Water security policies as a strategy to achieve food security...a case study of Algeria

Abstract

This study aims to clarify the concepts of food security and water security, and the most important policies followed by the Algerian government to confront the shortage of water resources, in light of the water supply crisis and the absence of rational and sustainable management of available resources.

Algeria seeks to follow a set of policies in order to cover its water needs, but it still suffers from the problem of scarcity of water resources, which is mainly related to usable fresh water, which is considered among the most important obstacles standing in the way of achieving its current and future food sufficiency.
