Les défis de la sécurité alimentaire pour le Maroc, dans le contexte de la guerre en Ukraine

30
September 2022
Sabrine Emran & Henri Louis Vedie

L’offre des matières premières agricoles, d’origine Russe et Ukrainienne, a été fortement perturbée par la guerre, mettant en péril la sécurité alimentaire des pays importateurs. L’offre de blé à titre d’exemple, a été impactée par la disruption de la chaîne d’approvisionnement, rendant ainsi l’accès au blé, plus cher, et plus limité. Dans ce contexte, Mr. Henri-Louis Vedie, nous apporte ses éléments de réponse concernant les sources alternatives d’approvisionnement de blé pour le Maroc, le lien établi entre le potentiel agricole du pays et les défis de la sécurité alimentaire, ainsi que le rôle que joue le Maroc, afin de réduire la dépendance agricole auprès des pays producteurs.

    Known for being a climate change hotspot, Morocco is at the forefront of a climate disaster. Consequences are already being felt, whether in the form of increasing temperature or a downward trend in precipitations, which directly threaten the water security and, by extension, the social-ecological systems of the country. The systems by which food, energy, and water are produced, distributed, and consumed heavily depend on one another. Their implicit feedbacks and links are not linea ...

    Addressing the increasing demands for water, energy, and food requires a coherent methodology to ensure that  societies have access to them and that conflict over them is avoided. For example, agriculture and food production  require water and energy; energy production also requires water and, in some instances, agricultural products.  Water distribution and treatment can be very energy intensive. Therefore, the benefits of approaching the Water- Energy-Food (WEF) nexus in an integr ...

    This paper is about the basic principles which should guide fertilizer policy for smallholder agriculture in sub-Saharan Africa It is not about detailed country-specific prescriptions on the “how” of policy. This important task should constitute the substance of detailed country studies. The overarching goal here is to use fertilizer to spearhead and sustain an African Green Revolution (GR). In this paper, fertilizer use is not considered as an end in itself, but as a necessary mean ...

    Commodity prices were once again marked by significant volatility in 2017 and 2018. While there are many economic factors to explain this, politics were also present—trade tensions between China and the United States and, more generally, a rise in uncertainties—weighing upon the global macroeconomic outlook and the ‘dynamism of the markets’. Africa, which has countries with strong growth rates, has, however, been able to show solid economic performance, and this trajectory is not li ...
