[00:00:00] the tools he uses for irrigation and fertilizing
[00:00:03] his land, just as we can use them, of course,
[00:00:07] in the digitalization of agricultural farms. In the digitalization of agricultural
[00:00:10] farms, we use sensors that
[00:00:14] we install in the soil and on the tree, which
[00:00:17] enables us to calculate
[00:00:20] the pH of the soil, enables us to calculate the moisture
[00:00:23] of the plant, whether it needs water or not, how much it needs to be irrigated.
[00:00:27] And all of this we try to do on an electronic platform
[00:00:31] to give figures
[00:00:33] and indicators to the farmer so that he knows
[00:00:36] sector in when to irrigate and when not to irrigate, for example, when it's
[00:00:40] self-sufficient with the water it has and needs more. And the goal of all this is
[00:00:43] to try to extract a database where we can
[00:00:47] extract, for example, how much energy per hectare
[00:00:51] and how much water we consume so that we can extract the
[00:00:54] energy balance, meaning how much we consume in
[00:00:58] energy consumption.
[00:01:04] Year after year, the International Agricultural Exhibition
[00:01:07] in Meknes records its strong presence among the internationally
[00:01:11] renowned exhibitions in the field of agriculture, and this role is further strengthened by
[00:01:14] the prominent presence
[00:01:17] officials in the province or in of a number of international organizations in the international hub within
[00:01:19] the exhibition, where expertise is exchanged in the field
[00:01:23] of agricultural development and agricultural technology
[00:01:25] between countries of the world and among various national
[00:01:29] competencies.
[00:01:52] with them an agreement in November 2022. We also have a branch
[00:01:55] in Canada, Montreal. We also have
[00:01:59] a branch. And our theory
[00:02:02] and our aspirations are that
[00:02:05] for the coming years, meaning from
[00:02:08] 2023, 2024, 2025, we will have
[00:02:12] a unity
[00:02:14] of partners who will come and help
[00:02:17] and cooperate with us because France Maroc is open
[00:02:21] to all institutions and individuals,
[00:02:25] organizations and individuals. Thank God, we have 20
[00:02:28] agreements that we have signed, and we have agreements that
[00:02:31] we choose, they must enter
[00:02:35] first, and second, to make them aware and teach them in into our objectives, and they must also have an interest in coming to us because we will not
[00:02:38] do too many
[00:02:42] agreements. No, we need to have an
[00:02:45] operational effect, meaning there should be
[00:02:48] a practical thinking
[00:02:51] to guide, that is,
[00:02:55] the countryside. to guide Moroccans, that is, competent people or
[00:02:58] companies and so on, to follow the direction
[00:03:00] of Morocco and contribute. And these are our main goals. A farming season
[00:03:04] that needs that plant at
[00:03:07] the beginning is not the same
[00:03:09] throughout the year. And then there is the time
[00:03:13] for harvesting. And
[00:03:16] meaning,
[00:03:19] Sheikh the yield, meaning, it is diverse. And this
[00:03:22] Al-Wad Al-Hallawi, who were great will open up a very, very important field.
[00:03:28] For this episode specifically, which we participated in And this is why, even for us,
[00:03:32] from 70 countries this year,
[00:03:35] and we try as much as possible
[00:03:38] to meet
[00:03:41] with the leading countries in this,
[00:03:44] in these matters,
[00:03:47] and to make agreements with them
[00:03:51] and to have cooperation with these
[00:03:54] countries.
[00:03:57] Experiences, because, we can
[00:04:01] , with some companies in Europe,
[00:04:03] benefit from their experience. And we,
[00:04:07] in turn, can also benefit other countries, especially in Africa, from
[00:04:11] our experience.
[00:04:13] And this is what makes the international exhibition
[00:04:16] today a national
[00:04:19] and international platform for discussion
[00:04:21] and sharing.
[00:04:28] In addition to the presence of the international community, the last session of the agricultural exhibition was distinguished by
[00:04:32] the remarkable presence of civil society organizations,
[00:04:37] its reflection, of course, on representing professional associations and cooperatives active in the agricultural field,
[00:04:40] some of which presented the latest studies on the position of women
[00:04:45] Sheikh Talib Al-Hamer, in agriculture and ways to strengthen their presence in agricultural activity and enhance
[00:04:48] their role in preserving the agricultural heritage
[00:04:52] of our country.
[00:04:59] He has human capital in the region that can provide
[00:05:03] supervision, he has all the all the all the
[00:05:07] ministry services, he has banks, he has everything, everything is
[00:05:10] represented in the zone so. It's an advantage for the
[00:05:14] sector, he has an active cooperative
[00:05:18] and associative movement in the fields, I don't know if you
[00:05:22] have if you have if you know a little about the House, it really is
[00:05:25] one of the most active regions on the
[00:05:28] social and associative
[00:05:32] and cooperative
[00:05:34] This study was conducted by our group, and I
[00:05:38] led the group as an expert.
[00:05:44] blood on women and their work in the olive
[00:05:48] Al Haouz in the province of
[00:05:51] Al Haouz
[00:05:54] And we saw the olives that women
[00:05:58] prepare as farmers, they take care of
[00:06:01] the tree and they go and prune it
[00:06:03] and when
[00:06:06] they harvest and when they prepare the olives and where they take them
[00:06:09] and we followed if we did
[00:06:14] with a group of cooperatives and a group of
[00:06:17] associations, a group of women alone, and we also did
[00:06:21] with administrations and with
[00:06:24] officials, there are officials even in Rabat, we talked to them,
[00:06:29] the region so that we understand how
[00:06:32] the situation of women is with olives
[00:06:35] and olive oil in the province.
[00:06:39] and
[00:06:42] are part of national priorities, well, of course, he has a whole
[00:06:46] interprofession and he has a lot of financial
[00:06:49] support for the sector, so we
[00:06:52] would like women to benefit from it, women in the house also
[00:06:56] benefit from it, he looked at the woman in her environment, he
[00:06:59] has the it's the ecosystem for the
[00:07:02] woman, he has the family, the community, the the
[00:07:06] institutions, the regulations, the
[00:07:08] rules and standards, the standards are... women need support, they need support with training, training
[00:07:20] خصهم الدعم خصهم الدعم بالتكوين بالتكوين
[00:07:25] at all levels, including school and even from
[00:07:29] those who to improve their
[00:07:33] product so they can sell it well, eat well themselves
[00:07:37] and sell well. And olive oil is
[00:07:39] difficult because sometimes if the olives are watered too much,
[00:07:43] the oil spoils. So we need
[00:07:46] the regions. And there is support for associations
[00:07:50] and financial support as well. These will
[00:07:52] help those women stick
[00:07:56] to this culture
[00:07:59] and spread it,
[00:08:01] and everyone will benefit from it, people in the city
[00:08:05] and women in
[00:08:07] الباديه
[00:08:11] The topics of national agriculture for civil society
[00:08:15] receive the necessary attention from the Moroccan press of all
[00:08:19] types and backgrounds, given
[00:08:22] the presence of the agricultural sector and its issues within the concerns of
[00:08:26] citizens. Therefore, the agricultural exhibition usually
[00:08:29] serves as a platform to crown the contributions of
[00:08:32] male and female journalists in addressing agricultural issues
[00:08:36] and their prospects.
[00:08:40] for the Grand Agricultural Press Award, it was about
[00:08:43] the topic of seawater desalination as an alternative in light
[00:08:47] of the lack of rainfall recently witnessed by
[00:08:50] the country. Most countries in the future, God willing,
[00:08:54] desalinated water will be the alternative. We mentioned
[00:08:57] the challenges that farmers face in terms
[00:09:01] of price, which is an expensive cost, 5 dirhams and
[00:09:04] 40 cents per cubic meter, which farmers buy. They might not be able to
[00:09:07] sell their product at a reasonable
[00:09:11] price for the citizen. The
[00:09:15] second issue is some areas that have not yet received
[00:09:17] desalinated water. We addressed them because they
[00:09:21] truly need water, especially arid
[00:09:24] areas. Another issue
[00:09:27] is another issue from the perspective of
[00:09:31] the ministry and projects,
[00:09:33] especially the Moroccan Green Plan. We would like it to speed
[00:09:37] up a bit, meaning to speed up the pace of work in order to
[00:09:40] secure water through seawater desalination
[00:09:44] plants across Morocco. This will have
[00:09:49] agriculture primarily and on the citizen
[00:09:52] even more because, in the end,
[00:09:55] the citizen is the consumer of the crops that
[00:09:58] consume water and need water.
[00:10:02] The organizing committee, or the judging committee, I would like
[00:10:06] to thank all the participating journalists. I would also like to thank
[00:10:09] Channel Two, which supports young people, especially
[00:10:13] in the television field. I would
[00:10:16] like to thank everyone who helped me, or helped me to stand
[00:10:20] here today. I dedicate this award
[00:10:24] to my father, may God have mercy on him, and my mother, may God grant her a long life.
[00:10:27] And anyone who, through journalistic treatment
[00:10:31] or journalistic approach or media coverage of such
[00:10:34] topics, makes it receive
[00:10:38] attention not
[00:10:41] only public but also popular. And
[00:10:44] the public and popular interest
[00:10:48] in topics that have become
[00:10:52] of interest not only to
[00:10:55] technicians or institutional actors
[00:10:57] responsible for managing the agricultural or productive sector
[00:11:01] in our country, but also to journalists,
[00:11:04] because these topics
[00:11:08] deeply affect
[00:11:11] our food security
[00:11:14] and our food
[00:11:17] today, meaning everything that
[00:11:19] represents or the effects of
[00:11:23] climate change, everything that
[00:11:27] represents, for example,
[00:11:29] the effects of drought and water scarcity, and
[00:11:33] the demand from all parties to manage water
[00:11:37] in a way that is commensurate with what
[00:11:40] we need. This makes us
[00:11:43] think more than once that media
[00:11:46] coverage is not just about promoting
[00:11:49] certain topics, but about involving citizens,
[00:11:53] institutions, and interested parties in the public discussion.
[00:11:55] We need ideas. We need positions.
[00:11:59] We need technical opinions. We need
[00:12:02] conclusions and technological solutions. Therefore,
[00:12:06] we must use media outlets, which are
[00:12:09] the link between all
[00:12:12] these stakeholders in the field of research
[00:12:15] and the field of finding solutions to our
[00:12:18] current issues. At the end of the International Agricultural
[00:12:22] Exhibition, the organizers proudly present a number of
[00:12:26] indicative figures, including that this session, although it came after a period
[00:12:29] of hiatus for three seasons, managed
[00:12:32] to attract approximately 930,000
[00:12:35] visitors, while the number of exhibitors reached nearly
[00:12:38] 1,400 exhibitors. More than 40
[00:12:42] conferences were organized, focusing primarily on issues of food sovereignty
[00:12:46] and agricultural topics and the challenges of climate
[00:12:48] change.
[00:12:52] What we concluded was confirmed by
[00:12:56] one of the partners
[00:13:00] the professionals and exhibitors who were
[00:13:04] enthusiastic about this new beginning
[00:13:07] of the forum.
[00:13:11] And reassurance after we recorded the number of
[00:13:15] visitors, and as you can see,
[00:13:17] the streets and all the poles
[00:13:20] are full of people who came
[00:13:24] to visit the forum, which
[00:13:27] we can say is
[00:13:30] the forum that, thank
[00:13:33] God, has taken its path.
[00:13:35] This
[00:13:38] level we have reached
[00:13:41] shows that
[00:13:44] our country is an agricultural country first
[00:13:46] and foremost. It shows
[00:13:50] the number of people in our country who live
[00:13:53] directly or indirectly
[00:13:57] this agricultural sector. And
[00:14:00] it is our responsibility to ensure follow-up and to
[00:14:04] try to provide
[00:14:07] each type of visitor with what
[00:14:10] they want to find here within
[00:14:14] the forum.
[00:14:18] The International Agricultural Exhibition is but one link in a comprehensive
[00:14:22] strategy titled the Green Generation, whose framework
[00:14:25] includes working to establish a national agricultural model that achieves
[00:14:29] food sovereignty for Moroccans and strengthens the resilience of the agricultural
[00:14:33] sector against climate fluctuations and the fluctuations
[00:14:36] of international politics.
