This study aims at answering the following question: does the rise of food security issues have an impact on Localized Agrifood Systems (Syals)? More precisely, will the Syals succeed in replacing the logic of "producing little but better" by "producing enough and better" without losing their identity in productivist agricultural models? Two analyses have been conducted to find an answer to these questions. The first one focused on the determinants of food security and on the theoretical foundations of Syals as potential response to this challenge. The second one is devoted to the evolution of Syals given the needs for increases of food supply, more particularly in the case of the Olive System in the Saïs-Meknes Area in Morocco (SOM). These analyses led to the identification of "median solutions" which combine the logics of "producing enough" and of "producing better": ecologically intensive agriculture connected with the maintenance and the modernization of the traditional maâsras and the semi-modern crushing units. Such solutions would enable to improve food supply and, in the same time, to provide quality products while remaining linked to a territory and to the societal values including environmental dimension
