  • Gendered Dimensions of Key Value Chains in Southwestern Morocco
    Chapter 14 Gendered Dimensions of Key Value Chains in Southwestern Morocco Shinan N. Kassam, Patricia Biermayr-Jenzano, BoubakerShinan N. Kassam,Dhehibi andPatricia Aden Biermayr-Jenzano, Aw-Hassan Boubaker Dhehibi and Aden Aw-Hassan Additional information is available at the end of the chapter Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.69827 Abstract The Morocco Green Plan (MGP) has delivered signiicant economic beneits to small farm households. A concentration on improving eiciency and proitability within value chains for key local commodities has, through the creation of women’s cooperatives, also led to positive outcomes in female empowerment. Through qualitative and participatory research methods, our analysis of gendered aspects of value chains for argan, rose, cactus, and saf- fron in southwestern Morocco suggests that economic empowerment, fostered through existing women’s cooperatives, is fragile and subject to signiicant threats. In large part, this is the result of a state-driven approach that has not efectively considered the inequi- ties inherent within value chains for key local commodities; and the meshing of existing social and cultural norms with the tenets of a national drive toward ‘modernization’ of the agricultural sector. We suggest that the MGP is gender blind in this respect. Couching value chain enhancement initiatives within an innovation systems framework, as opposed to a state-centric process, is more likely to achieve well-being within rural communities, together with sustainable (social and economic) returns within pro-poor value chains. Keywords: Morocco Green Plan, agricultural innovation, gender, agricultural cooperatives, argan, cactus, rose, safron 1.

The fatty acid profiles obtained by gas chromatography (GC) showed that oleic acid (C18:1) is the most abundant fatty acid, followed by linoleic acid (C18:2) and palmitic acid (C16:0). The content of trans-oleic and trans-linoleic isomers was between 0.02% and 0.03%, while trans-linolenic isomers were between 0.06% and 0.09%. Discriminant analysis (DA) and orthogonal projection to latent structure—discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) were performed to discriminate between argan oils from Essaouira, Taroudant, Tiznit, Chtouka-Aït Baha and Sidi Ifni.

Morocco floods of 2014: what we can learn from Guelmim and Sidi Ifni Foreword There is a saying that more people drown in the desert than die of thirst. Inhabitants of the arid regions of Morocco know this all too well. Morocco has experienced no fewer than 35 floods over the years from 1951 to 2015. Flash floods can fill dry stream beds, ‘oueds’ or ‘wadis,’ very rapidly, often taking a heavy toll in terms of human life. Floods also wreak havoc on property and destroy infrastructure, leaving a legacy of misery for those living in affected regions. Floods are nothing new for Morocco, increasing communities’ resilience. It is where traditionally floodwaters were not always easy to learn from events, welcomed as a source of essential but it is a key element that can be irrigation for crops.

The colors and the designs are beyond belief visually. The one problem was that the binding of this paperback book came apart so that the back cover came off Living in Morocco : Design from Casablanca to Marrakesh. Living in Morocco: Design from Casablanca to Marrakesh is an exhilarating combination of vivid sensuality and intense spirituality, an intoxicating blend of cultures. Berber, Arab, French, English, and Spanish: the country's rich mixture of heritages is matched by its geography, which ranges from coast to mountain to desert. This revised edition of Living in Morocco celebrates the indigenous arts of a country at the height of a cultural renaissance. Morocco is known for fine leather and for pottery that dates back a thousand years. Berber rugs are justly famous, and there is a thriving tradition of woodworking, especially in the native thuya wood. Most extraordinary, though, is Morocco's decorative painting and tilework, where, forbidden Living in Morocco: Design from Casablanca to Marrakesh religion to depict human figures, craftsmen have developed a vocabulary of pattern and ornament. The book is filled with brightly colored ceilings, decorated courtyards and walls, plaster of Paris carved and painted in intricate geometrics, tiles so small that could fit in a matchbox. Lavishly illustrated chapters on decorative and folk arts alternate with chapters on Moroccan life today.
