Descripción
Nowadays, food security continues to be a huge problem, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa.
This paper tries to analyse the problem of food security from the point of view of food regime
analysis. The implementation of the different food regimes in Mauritania has had important
consequences for the country’s food security because it has generated an increasing
dualism between consumption patterns and provisioning systems in rural and urban areas.
The Mauritanian case allows us to note that the European model to achieve the food security
existing in the Second Food Regime did not apply in countries such as Mauritania. Moreover,
Mauritania shows us that the proposal for food security in the Third Food Regime, that
is, the access to the food world markets, has not been able to mitigate the food insecurity of
the country.
