На основе информационно-библиографического обзора трудов российских и зарубежных африканистов, касающихся продовольственной безопасности стран Африки и состояния их сельского хозяйства, а также статистического  исследования,  построенного на анализе баз данных и отчетов, содержащих профильную информацию, автор приходит к выводу, что современное сельское хозяйство не обеспечивает жителям стран Западной Африки должного уровня продовольственной безопасности.</p><p>Выявленные причины этого уходят корнями в 1960-е годы, когда западноафриканские страны стали получать независимость и перестраивать свои экономики с аграрного сектора на добывающий, практически прекратив поддержку сельскохозяйственного производства.</p><p>Благодаря следованию Целям развития тысячелетия, странам Африки удалось сократить количество голодающих на континенте. Однако мировые финансовые кризисы последних лет продемонстрировали неспособность сельского хозяйства африканских стран противостоять катаклизмам.</p><p>Питание большинства населения сегодня ни количественно, ни качественно не соответствует международным стандартам. Приходится признать, что современный уровень обеспеченности стран Западной Африки продовольствием далек от оптимального. Их сельское хозяйство руководствуется многими региональными принципами, следование которым должно привести к возрождению аграрного производства и восстановлению самообеспечения продовольствием. Однако темпы таких преобразований крайне низки, так как ограничены недостаточным финансированием.</p><p>И всё же аграрный сектор Африки встречает поддержку многих международных организаций, которые способствуют его развитию. Это прежде всего использование достижений цифровой революции, которое должно повысить интенсивность производства сельскохозяйственной продукции и тем самым со временем увеличить способность стран Западной Африки к самообеспечению продовольствием и противостоянию природным и социальным катаклизмам.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The paper analyzes the state of food security in West Africa and assesses its viability. The present author reviews literature on food security of African countries and the state of their agriculture, conducts a statistical analysis of agricultural databases and reports, and comes to the conclusion that modern agriculture does not provide the population of West Africa with an adequate level of nutrition. The identified reasons for this date back to the 1960s, when West African countries gained independence and refocused their economies from agriculture toward the mining sector, minimizing support for the agricultural sector. Due to following the Millennium Development Goals, Africa has managed to reduce hunger on the continent, but recent global financial upheavals have demonstrated the inability of African agriculture to withstand cataclysms. Nutrition of the majority of the population today meets international standards neither quantitatively nor qualitatively. The current level of food security in West Africa is far below optimal. Agriculture there is guided by many regional principles, the adherence to which should lead to the revival of agricultural production. However, the pace of such transformations is extremely slow due to insufficient funding. Yet Africa’s agricultural sector is supported by many international organizations that contribute to the introduction of progressive techniques. This primarily involves the introduction of digital innovations, which should increase the intensity of agricultural production and accordingly the ability of West Africa to achieve self-sufficiency in food and withstand natural and social disasters.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Западная Африка</kwd><kwd>сельское хозяйство</kwd><kwd>аграрный сектор</kwd><kwd>продовольственная безопасность</kwd><kwd>самообеспеченность продовольствием</kwd><kwd>интенсификация производства</kwd><kwd>COVID-19</kwd><kwd>цифровые технологии в сельском хозяйстве</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>West Africa</kwd><kwd>agriculture</kwd><kwd>agricultural sector</kwd><kwd>food security</kwd><kwd>food self-sufficiency</kwd><kwd>intensification of production</kwd><kwd>COVID-19</kwd><kwd>digital technologies in agriculture</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Аграрные преобразования в странах Африки на современном этапе / отв. ред.
