Over the centuries, the food system has become extremely important for the economic and social development of any country. Taking the archipelago of Cape Verde as a case study, the work presents a set of information about the reality of the national territory that aims to give a brief observation on the dimension of the problems faced by the local population, presenting the city of Praia (capital of the country) for its urban dimension and influence as a location for future strategic intervention. Cape Verde has always faced major challenges in the process of food sovereignty, as a result of low rainfall and consequent water shortages for agricultural production and livestock breeding, support sectors for much of the resident population. However, despite the adverse living conditions, this is the basis of food for the majority of the Cape Verdean population. In order to overcome these challenges, the national government has created infrastructures and agreements that can remedy the situations and bring hope to all those who seek the fruit of the land for family sustenance. As a part of the nation i see the Stoled Whater project as a form of expression for the problem of the lack of water on the planet whater, especially in an archipelago bathed by the largest ocean. The project proposes an industrial unit for food production and processing as a tool for socio-economic development, in order improving the quality of families lifes.
