00:00:00the tools he uses for irrigation and fertilizing
00:00:03his land, just as we can use them, of course,
00:00:07in the digitalization of agricultural farms. In the digitalization of agricultural
00:00:10farms, we use sensors that
00:00:14we install in the soil and on the tree, which
00:00:17enables us to calculate
00:00:20the pH of the soil, enables us to calculate the moisture
00:00:23of the plant, whether it needs water or not, how much it needs to be irrigated.
00:00:27And all of this we try to do on an electronic platform
00:00:31to give figures
00:00:33and indicators to the farmer so that he knows
00:00:36sector in when to irrigate and when not to irrigate, for example, when it's
00:00:40self-sufficient with the water it has and needs more. And the goal of all this is
00:00:43to try to extract a database where we can
00:00:47extract, for example, how much energy per hectare
00:00:51and how much water we consume so that we can extract the
00:00:54energy balance, meaning how much we consume in
00:00:58energy consumption.
00:01:04Year after year, the International Agricultural Exhibition
00:01:07in Meknes records its strong presence among the internationally
00:01:11renowned exhibitions in the field of agriculture, and this role is further strengthened by
00:01:14the prominent presence
00:01:17officials in the province or in of a number of international organizations in the international hub within
00:01:19the exhibition, where expertise is exchanged in the field
00:01:23of agricultural development and agricultural technology
00:01:25between countries of the world and among various national
00:01:29competencies.
00:01:52with them an agreement in November 2022. We also have a branch
00:01:55in Canada, Montreal. We also have
00:01:59a branch. And our theory
00:02:02and our aspirations are that
00:02:05for the coming years, meaning from
00:02:082023, 2024, 2025, we will have
00:02:12a unity
00:02:14of partners who will come and help
00:02:17and cooperate with us because France Maroc is open
00:02:21to all institutions and individuals,
00:02:25organizations and individuals. Thank God, we have 20
00:02:28agreements that we have signed, and we have agreements that
00:02:31we choose, they must enter
00:02:35first, 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
00:02:38do too many
00:02:42agreements. No, we need to have an
00:02:45operational effect, meaning there should be
00:02:48a practical thinking
00:02:51to guide, that is,
00:02:55the countryside. to guide Moroccans, that is, competent people or
00:02:58companies and so on, to follow the direction
00:03:00of Morocco and contribute. And these are our main goals. A farming season
00:03:04that needs that plant at
00:03:07the beginning is not the same
00:03:09throughout the year. And then there is the time
00:03:13for harvesting. And
00:03:16meaning,
00:03:19Sheikh the yield, meaning, it is diverse. And this
00:03:22Al-Wad Al-Hallawi, who were great will open up a very, very important field.
00:03:28For this episode specifically, which we participated in And this is why, even for us,
00:03:32from 70 countries this year,
00:03:35and we try as much as possible
00:03:38to meet
00:03:41with the leading countries in this,
00:03:44in these matters,
00:03:47and to make agreements with them
00:03:51and to have cooperation with these
00:03:54countries.
00:03:57Experiences, because, we can
00:04:01, with some companies in Europe,
00:04:03benefit from their experience. And we,
00:04:07in turn, can also benefit other countries, especially in Africa, from
00:04:11our experience.
00:04:13And this is what makes the international exhibition
00:04:16today a national
00:04:19and international platform for discussion
00:04:21and sharing.
00:04:28In addition to the presence of the international community, the last session of the agricultural exhibition was distinguished by
00:04:32the remarkable presence of civil society organizations,
00:04:37its reflection, of course, on representing professional associations and cooperatives active in the agricultural field,
00:04:40some of which presented the latest studies on the position of women
00:04:45Sheikh Talib Al-Hamer, in agriculture and ways to strengthen their presence in agricultural activity and enhance
00:04:48their role in preserving the agricultural heritage
00:04:52of our country.
00:04:59He has human capital in the region that can provide
00:05:03supervision, he has all the all the all the
00:05:07ministry services, he has banks, he has everything, everything is
00:05:10represented in the zone so. It's an advantage for the
00:05:14sector, he has an active cooperative
00:05:18and associative movement in the fields, I don't know if you
00:05:22have if you have if you know a little about the House, it really is
00:05:25one of the most active regions on the
00:05:28social and associative
00:05:32and cooperative
00:05:34This study was conducted by our group, and I
00:05:38led the group as an expert.
00:05:44blood on women and their work in the olive
00:05:48Al Haouz in the province of
00:05:51Al Haouz
00:05:54And we saw the olives that women
00:05:58prepare as farmers, they take care of
00:06:01the tree and they go and prune it
00:06:03and when
00:06:06they harvest and when they prepare the olives and where they take them
00:06:09and we followed if we did
00:06:14with a group of cooperatives and a group of
00:06:17associations, a group of women alone, and we also did
00:06:21with administrations and with
00:06:24officials, there are officials even in Rabat, we talked to them,
00:06:29the region so that we understand how
00:06:32the situation of women is with olives
00:06:35and olive oil in the province.
00:06:39and
00:06:42are part of national priorities, well, of course, he has a whole
00:06:46interprofession and he has a lot of financial
00:06:49support for the sector, so we
00:06:52would like women to benefit from it, women in the house also
00:06:56benefit from it, he looked at the woman in her environment, he
00:06:59has the it's the ecosystem for the
00:07:02woman, he has the family, the community, the the
00:07:06institutions, the regulations, the
00:07:08rules and standards, the standards are... women need support, they need support with training, training

00:07:25at all levels, including school and even from
00:07:29those who to improve their
00:07:33product so they can sell it well, eat well themselves
00:07:37and sell well. And olive oil is
00:07:39difficult because sometimes if the olives are watered too much,
00:07:43the oil spoils. So we need
00:07:46the regions. And there is support for associations
00:07:50and financial support as well. These will
00:07:52help those women stick
00:07:56to this culture
00:07:59and spread it,
00:08:01and everyone will benefit from it, people in the city
00:08:05and women in

00:08:11The topics of national agriculture for civil society
00:08:15receive the necessary attention from the Moroccan press of all
00:08:19types and backgrounds, given
00:08:22the presence of the agricultural sector and its issues within the concerns of
00:08:26citizens. Therefore, the agricultural exhibition usually
00:08:29serves as a platform to crown the contributions of
00:08:32male and female journalists in addressing agricultural issues
00:08:36and their prospects.
00:08:40for the Grand Agricultural Press Award, it was about
00:08:43the topic of seawater desalination as an alternative in light
00:08:47of the lack of rainfall recently witnessed by
00:08:50the country. Most countries in the future, God willing,
00:08:54desalinated water will be the alternative. We mentioned
00:08:57the challenges that farmers face in terms
00:09:01of price, which is an expensive cost, 5 dirhams and
00:09:0440 cents per cubic meter, which farmers buy. They might not be able to
00:09:07sell their product at a reasonable
00:09:11price for the citizen. The
00:09:15second issue is some areas that have not yet received
00:09:17desalinated water. We addressed them because they
00:09:21truly need water, especially arid
00:09:24areas. Another issue
00:09:27is another issue from the perspective of
00:09:31the ministry and projects,
00:09:33especially the Moroccan Green Plan. We would like it to speed
00:09:37up a bit, meaning to speed up the pace of work in order to
00:09:40secure water through seawater desalination
00:09:44plants across Morocco. This will have
00:09:49agriculture primarily and on the citizen
00:09:52even more because, in the end,
00:09:55the citizen is the consumer of the crops that
00:09:58consume water and need water.
00:10:02The organizing committee, or the judging committee, I would like
00:10:06to thank all the participating journalists. I would also like to thank
00:10:09Channel Two, which supports young people, especially
00:10:13in the television field. I would
00:10:16like to thank everyone who helped me, or helped me to stand
00:10:20here today. I dedicate this award
00:10:24to my father, may God have mercy on him, and my mother, may God grant her a long life.
00:10:27And anyone who, through journalistic treatment
00:10:31or journalistic approach or media coverage of such
00:10:34topics, makes it receive
00:10:38attention not
00:10:41only public but also popular. And
00:10:44the public and popular interest
00:10:48in topics that have become
00:10:52of interest not only to
00:10:55technicians or institutional actors
00:10:57responsible for managing the agricultural or productive sector
00:11:01in our country, but also to journalists,
00:11:04because these topics
00:11:08deeply affect
00:11:11our food security
00:11:14and our food
00:11:17today, meaning everything that
00:11:19represents or the effects of
00:11:23climate change, everything that
00:11:27represents, for example,
00:11:29the effects of drought and water scarcity, and
00:11:33the demand from all parties to manage water
00:11:37in a way that is commensurate with what
00:11:40we need. This makes us
00:11:43think more than once that media
00:11:46coverage is not just about promoting
00:11:49certain topics, but about involving citizens,
00:11:53institutions, and interested parties in the public discussion.
00:11:55We need ideas. We need positions.
00:11:59We need technical opinions. We need
00:12:02conclusions and technological solutions. Therefore,
00:12:06we must use media outlets, which are
00:12:09the link between all
00:12:12these stakeholders in the field of research
00:12:15and the field of finding solutions to our
00:12:18current issues. At the end of the International Agricultural
00:12:22Exhibition, the organizers proudly present a number of
00:12:26indicative figures, including that this session, although it came after a period
00:12:29of hiatus for three seasons, managed
00:12:32to attract approximately 930,000
00:12:35visitors, while the number of exhibitors reached nearly
00:12:381,400 exhibitors. More than 40
00:12:42conferences were organized, focusing primarily on issues of food sovereignty
00:12:46and agricultural topics and the challenges of climate
00:12:48change.
00:12:52What we concluded was confirmed by
00:12:56one of the partners
00:13:00the professionals and exhibitors who were
00:13:04enthusiastic about this new beginning
00:13:07of the forum.
00:13:11And reassurance after we recorded the number of
00:13:15visitors, and as you can see,
00:13:17the streets and all the poles
00:13:20are full of people who came
00:13:24to visit the forum, which
00:13:27we can say is
00:13:30the forum that, thank
00:13:33God, has taken its path.
00:13:35This
00:13:38level we have reached
00:13:41shows that
00:13:44our country is an agricultural country first
00:13:46and foremost. It shows
00:13:50the number of people in our country who live
00:13:53directly or indirectly
00:13:57this agricultural sector. And
00:14:00it is our responsibility to ensure follow-up and to
00:14:04try to provide
00:14:07each type of visitor with what
00:14:10they want to find here within
00:14:14the forum.
00:14:18The International Agricultural Exhibition is but one link in a comprehensive
00:14:22strategy titled the Green Generation, whose framework
00:14:25includes working to establish a national agricultural model that achieves
00:14:29food sovereignty for Moroccans and strengthens the resilience of the agricultural
00:14:33sector against climate fluctuations and the fluctuations
00:14:36of international politics.
