Crise de production, signe d'une pénurie alimentaire mondiale, crise spéculative. Différentes analyses (parfois contradictoires) ont été faites de la crise alimentaire de 2008 en Afrique de l'Ouest. Cet article revient sur les facteurs de hausse des prix et plaide en faveur de systèmes alimentaires durables pour que la région ne soit pas confrontée à une nouvelle crise.

Addressing the issues of food sovereignty and security as well as work and employment within the social and solidarity economy (SSE) necessarily involves exploring connections between the reasoning of actors representing the State, grassroots professionals, civil society organisations, local communities and the private sector. The ability of social economy enterprises to face systemic crises, their importance in promoting employment, especially for youth and women, as well as their impact on the income of poor populations, led the Malian government to be convinced of the merits of putting into place a framework to encourage their development. Moreover, the obligation to guarantee food sovereignty and security, especially within the context of demographic challenges, climate change and repetitive food crises, has led the government to promote agricultural as a key element of its national strategy. It remains clear, however, that in order to ensure the sustainability of these measures, they must be supported by national policies co-created by the State and the various other actors. This case study, part of the scientific content of the FIESS 2011, focuses on: 1. public policies that support the social and solidarity economy; 2. the conditions for a successful dialogue and for public/community partnerships to jointly develop policies and implement initiatives; 3. the results of public policy that promotes or reinforces the social economy; 4. the contributions of the social and solidarity economy towards the developmental goals of the targeted public policy. The report presents a summary of the results of the Malian case study on both work and employment and food sovereignty and security, in connection with the social and solidarity economy.
