Feeding without destroying with sustainable territorialized food systems: the case of the Africa-Europe region[Nourrir sans détruire avec des systèmes alimentaires territorialisés durables : le cas de l’espace Afrique-Europe]

After four technological and organizational transitions in 400,000 years, humanity is in search of sustainable and shared food security. Indeed, the heavy negative externalities of the agro-industrial system that has become hegemonic in 150 years encourage us to rebuild food systems from a socio-ecological point of view. Based on a synthesis of different forecasts, the authors present the alternative scenario of "Sustainable Territorialized Food Systems" (STFS) based on the extended quality of products, territorial autonomy, proximity and solidarity. Such a scenario would induce profound changes in the countries of the North and the South with contextualized trajectories. In Europe, this is a trend break. In Africa, the weak significance of the agro-industrial model suggests a direct orientation towards STFSs, without going through this agro-industrial model. Based on theoretical and empirical considerations, four recommendations are made for public and private decision makers: strategic planning, risk prevention through the "One Health" concept, redeployment of the knowledge chain, reconfiguration of agri-food value chains and governance design.
