Morocco, the only country in the region to practice Conservation Agriculture (CA) at scale, will now become a hub for dryland sustainable agricultural systems, boosted by decades-long joint research on CA between ICARDA and the National Agricultural Research Institute (INRA) of Morocco.
Conservation Agriculture is a sustainable agricultural production system guided by three core principles: no (or minimal) tillage to the soil after harvest; permanent soil cover to lock in moisture and reduce evaporation; and crop diversification replacing monocropping – to enhance soil health and subsequently improve crop productivity and household resilience.
