Greetings everyone,

I'm Abdelwahed Ladham, an environmental science specialist from Morocco. I'd like to open a discussion around one of the most critical topics - sustainable agriculture in our region.

Our agricultural practices heavily influence our environment and biodiversity. The need for a shift from traditional methods to sustainable agriculture is pressing, considering the escalating threats of climate change.

Agriculture, particularly here in Morocco, faces significant challenges, ranging from water scarcity to soil fertility management. However, there are also unique opportunities, considering our diverse climatic vectors and landforms.

How can we integrate the wisdom of traditional farmers, modern-day scientific research, and techniques to ensure a sustainable future? What specific measures does Morocco take to address these challenges, and can these solutions be scaled globally? Do you think ICTs' role can further empower farmers, particularly the younger ones, to ensure a more sustainable and resilient agricultural sector?

Let's explore these questions together, sharing ideas and implementing transformation where most needed. I would love to hear both local and global perspectives as effective sustainable practices in one region could be an inspiration in another.

Looking forward to your valuable inputs.
