Un des piliers de l'économie du Maroc est actuellement mis sous pression par la rareté de l'eau, qui menace de vastes étendues agricoles... Les champs desséchés s'étendent à perte de vue le long des plaines surplombant Agadir, dans le sud-ouest du Maroc. Avec la sécheresse persistante, cette grande zone agricole est privée d'irrigation par les barrages, dont l'eau est désormais réservée aux habitants.
The time has come for a transformation of Europe’s food systems. Small-scale food producers, peasants, community groups, environmental justice activists and others have been calling for years for a shift towards agriculture that nourishes communities, regenerates ecosystems, and provides decent and sustainable livelihoods. The concept of agroecology encompasses these ambitions, referring to the science, movement, and practice of working with nature to build food sovereignty. The climate crisis and the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic have only made it clearer how urgent such a transformation is.
Cette semaine, un article publié dans Le Figaro m'interpelle : Fruits et légumes moches: pourquoi la vente en supermarché a toujours été un échec ?
Cette initiative portée par Intermarché avait pourtant du sens. Vendre des produits moches 30% moins cher et promettre de réduire le gaspillage alimentaire, on aurait pu vraiment croire que ça marcherait.
The first phase of the Med-Gold project is approaching completion and the results could revolutionize how olive growers plan for the future.

Soupe aux feuilles de capucines, salade aux fleurs de violettes ou thé aux feuilles de fraises: une entrepreneuse tunisienne s'est lancée dans la culture de plantes comestibles, un projet unique en Tunisie mais menacé, selon elle, par des blocages administratifs.
Le choc de la pandémie a, dans un premier temps tout au moins, obligé la planète entière à freiner sa course pour resserrer son attention sur l'essentiel : vais-je vais pouvoir me faire soigner demain ? Vais-je pouvoir me nourrir à ma faim ? Une focalisation des priorités qui vient rappeler que l'alimentation, comme la santé, reste un enjeu universel et intemporel. La 27ème édition du Demeter, véritable Bible des enjeux politiques, économiques et sociétaux de l'agriculture planétaire, a justement souhaité interroger les trajectoires du développement agricole et les conditions de la sécurité alimentaire à un moment où, si l'horizon semble s'éclaircir avec l'arrivée des vaccins, les incertitudes demeurent nombreuses sur le "monde d'après".

The system, developed by the Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation and Cairo’s MSA University, uses a sensor buried in the soil to measure moisture levels and a transmitter to send the data to the user, who accesses it through a mobile app. Even if they are away from their fields, farmers can tell whether their crops need more water or have had enough.

Chez les consommateurs, les habitudes du premier confinement n’ont pas toujours survécu à la crise économique qui s’est installée. Celles et ceux qui s’étaient mis au circuit court sont nombreux à avoir repris le chemin des supermarchés, par souci de praticité. On observe donc que promouvoir les circuits courts ne suffit pas à les encourager sur le long terme. Il faudrait que les grandes et moyennes surfaces travaillent davantage avec les producteurs locaux, en habituant la clientèle à un juste prix pouvant offrir une juste rémunération aux producteurs. Et que la logistique permette plus de circuits courts en zone rurale.
Marine aquaculture has been developing rapidly in Turkey over the past decade, according to a new research paper.
A new 430-page report from the Turkish Marine Research Foundation (TUDAV), “Marine Aquaculture in Turkey: Advancements and Management,” offers a thorough examination of the aquaculture sector, looking at lessons learned, how Turkey is embracing a “blue economy” model, and the challenges the country faces in improving the sustainability of its fish and shellfish farming sectors.
From charitable efforts to reversing desertification, olive trees and olive oil continue to play a fundamental role in Greek society.
Harvest challenges, prices and international and domestic markets tend to be the prevailing concerns in the Greek olive oil sector. However, there are plenty of other ways the olive tree plays a role in Greek society, outside of business boundaries. In Crete, the beneficiaries of the Heraklion social services program received free olive oil through a local grocery store.
La pandémie de Covid-19 a révélé la fragilité de nos systèmes alimentaires et l’urgence de les penser plus courts, plus durables et mieux régulés, tout en revalorisant le travail de ceux qui nous nourrissent.

Zone particulièrement vulnérable aux évolutions climatiques, l’Afrique subsaharienne est aujourd’hui confrontée à de nombreux défis, souvent interconnectés : sécurité alimentaire et hydrique, réduction de la dégradation des terres, gestion durable des ressources naturelles et des écosystèmes ou encore réduction de l’extrême pauvreté.
