  • Solutions from an Environmental, Political, Social and Economic Perspective
    Morocco’s economy is growing at a sustained pace involving critical development activities in sectors like: Industry; agriculture; tourism; and energy. The water demand of these sectors will have to be met against the backdrop of shrinking water resources and amidst rapidly growing competition for water use. For the Public Disclosure Authorized country, adaptation to climate change is the cornerstone of any program or policy on sustainable development. Some economic sectors or ecosystems are more sensitive than others are to climate change and groundwater depletion is at the centre of all these concerns.

  • Eu-Mediterranean Relations in the Field of Agriculture
    POLICY PAPER 91 18 APRIL 2013 EU-MEDITERRANEAN RELATIONS IN THE FIELD OF AGRICULTURE THE EXAMPLE OF MOROCCO AND TURKEY Raúl Compés López | Professor of agricultural economics at the Universitat Politécnica de Valencia José-María García-Álvarez-Coque | Professor of agricultural economics at the Universitat Politécnica de Valencia Tomás García Azcárate | Civil servant at the DG Agriculture of the European Commission and lecturer at the Institute for European Studies of the Université Libre de Bruxelles (IEE-ULB) SUMMARY The EU institutional relationships with the Middle East and North African countries (MENA) started in the 50’s and are currently defined by the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP). Trade liberalisation plays a key role between the EU and the MENA countries. The Barcelona process or “Euro-Mediterranean Partnership” aims to establish a Euro-Mediterranean Free Trade Area. Currently there is duty free access to the EU market for manufac- tured goods and preferential treatment for exports of agricultural, processed agricultural and fisheries products. EU and MENA countries share common interests but have some issues that require pro-active strategies for cooperation in order to avoid negative results. The political integration process for candidate countries (the case of Turkey) demands institutional adaptation to EU’s rules such as the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). Trade liberalisation can be positive in net terms but it also creates losers. Accompanying measures are needed to ensure everybody’s well-being in the medium and long term. The MENA countries with deeper relations with the EU are Turkey and Morocco. The trade balance between Morocco and Turkey with the EU is globally favourable to the EU but negative in the case of the agricultural trade.

Box 30677, 00100 Nairobi, Kenya * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +46-76-077-2373 Received: 14 September 2018; Accepted: 8 October 2018; Published: 16 October 2018 Abstract: Communities in northern Morocco are vulnerable to increasing water scarcity and food insecurity. Context specific adaptation options thus need to be identified to sustain livelihoods and agroecosystems in this region, and increase the resilience of vulnerable smallholders, and their farming systems, to undesired effects of social-ecological change. This study took a knowledge-based systems approach to explore whether and how tree-based (i.e., agroforestry) options could contribute to meeting these adaptation needs. We analysed local agroecological knowledge of smallholders from the Mèknes–Tafilalet region, to (i) characterise existing farming systems at local landscape scale; (ii) identify possible niches for farm-trees within these systems; and (iii) explore locally perceived barriers to tree-based diversification. An iterative cycle of qualitative interviews, with a purposefully selected sample of 32 farmers, revealed that socio-economic constraints and agroecological conditions in the area differed markedly along a relatively short altitudinal gradient.

S. Artikel/Article: Taxonomy of Neovossia horrida (Ustilaginales). 305-308 ©Verlag Ferdinand Berger & Söhne Ges.m.b.H., Horn, Austria, download unter www.biologiezentrum.at Taxonomy of Neovossia horrida (Ustilaginales) R. A. SINGH, M. D. WHTTEHEAD and M. S. PAVGI Faculty of Agriculture, Banaras Hindu University, India. Georgia State University, Atlanta, Georgia, U. S. A. Summary. Morphological, cultural and cytological studies on the smut fungus inciting kernel bunt of rice (Oryza sativa L.) indicate that it should be correctly retained in the genus Neovossia as Neovossia horrida (TAKAHASHI) PADWICK & AZMATUXLAH KHAN. In 1879 KÖRNICKE described the genus Neovossia as having sori generally in ovaries, forming a somewhat dusty spore mass; spores simple, produced singly or in the swollen and special fertile threads (sterigmata of MAGNUS), which permanently invest the spores and taper into elongated hyaline appendages of large size; germination by a short promycelium producing numerous terminall}' clustered linear sporidia, which germinate without conjugation and in nutrient solutions give rise to a mycelium producing secondary sporidia of 2 kinds (ZUNDEL 1953). Neovossia horrida (TAKAHASHI) PADWICK & KHAN, the incitant of kernel bunt of rice, was first described by TAKAHASHI (1896) from Japan as Tilletia horrida TAKAHASHI and independently by ANDERSON (1899) from the United States as Tilletia corona SCIB. It was later transferred to the genus Neovossia KÖRNICKE as N. horrida (TAK.) PADWICK & KHAN (1944). TULLIS & JOHNSON (1952) synonimized it to N.
