   <narrative xml:lang="EN">Enhancing food security and climate resilience in Morocco through innovative seed systems and scaling mechanisms in wheat production systems</narrative>
   <narrative xml:lang="FR">Renforcer la s&#xe9;curit&#xe9; alimentaire au Maroc : syst&#xe8;mes semenciers innovants et m&#xe9;canismes de mise &#xe0; l&#x2019;&#xe9;chelle dans la production &#xe0; base de bl&#xe9;</narrative>

  <description type="1">
   <narrative xml:lang="FR">Le bl&#xe9; est la principale culture vivri&#xe8;re du Maroc; cependant, la productivit&#xe9; du bl&#xe9; est faible, avec un rendement moyen de moins de deux tonnes par hectare. Le Maroc couvre en moyenne 60 % de ses besoins en bl&#xe9; et d&#xe9;pend des importations, en particulier lors des ann&#xe9;es s&#xe8;ches. L&#x2019;invasion de l&#x2019;Ukraine par la Russie a eu des r&#xe9;percussions directes sur les prix du bl&#xe9; au Maroc, et la situation s&#x2019;aggrave avec l&#x2019;apparition de conditions climatiques extr&#xea;mes, principalement des vagues de chaleur ou de s&#xe9;cheresse. Le renouvellement et l&#x2019;am&#xe9;lioration des vari&#xe9;t&#xe9;s de bl&#xe9; stagnent depuis plus de 20 ans, et le syst&#xe8;me semencier actuel a une capacit&#xe9; limit&#xe9;e &#xe0; produire, multiplier et distribuer suffisamment de semences de qualit&#xe9; afin de r&#xe9;pondre &#xe0; la demande des agricultrices et agriculteurs. 

Le projet &#xe9;valuera les syst&#xe8;mes semenciers actuels et travaillera avec des organisations publiques, priv&#xe9;es et communautaires afin de concevoir, mettre &#xe0; l&#x2019;essai et mettre en place des interventions plus efficaces et tenant compte de l&#x2019;&#xe9;galit&#xe9; des genres en vue de l&#x2019;am&#xe9;liorer, y compris la participation des femmes &#xe0; la multiplication des semences certifi&#xe9;es. Six plateformes d&#x2019;innovation seront mises en place dans les diff&#xe9;rentes zones agro&#xe9;cologiques afin de faciliter la participation des parties prenantes n&#xe9;cessaires afin de piloter et d&#xe9;montrer les effets de l&#x2019;adoption de vari&#xe9;t&#xe9;s am&#xe9;lior&#xe9;es et de pratiques de gestion des cultures sur la productivit&#xe9;, les revenus et la r&#xe9;silience face aux changements climatiques. Il est pr&#xe9;vu que 5 000 agricultrices et agriculteurs adoptent des vari&#xe9;t&#xe9;s de bl&#xe9; am&#xe9;lior&#xe9;es et des pratiques agronomiques (y compris l&#x2019;agriculture de conservation et l&#x2019;irrigation compl&#xe9;mentaire inform&#xe9;e par des capteurs num&#xe9;riques et l&#x2019;imagerie satellite), contribuant ainsi &#xe0; accro&#xee;tre la productivit&#xe9; des syst&#xe8;mes de production &#xe0; base de bl&#xe9; et leur r&#xe9;silience face aux changements climatiques. 

Ce dernier est soutenu par le Fonds d&#x2019;acc&#xe9;l&#xe9;ration de la recherche sur le bl&#xe9;, un partenariat de cofinancement entre le CRDI et Agriculture et Agroalimentaire Canada.</narrative>
   <narrative xml:lang="EN">Wheat is Morocco&apos;s primary staple food crop; however, wheat productivity is low, with an average yield of less than two tons per hectare. Morocco meets an average of 60% of its wheat needs and relies on imports, particularly in dry years. The Russian invasion of Ukraine has directly impacted Morocco&#x2019;s wheat prices, and the situation worsens with the occurrence of extreme weather conditions, mainly heat waves and/or drought. Renewal and improvement of wheat varieties have remained stagnant for more than 20 years, and the current seed system has limited capacity to produce, multiply and distribute enough quality seeds to meet farmers&#x2019; demands. 

This project will assess the existing seed system and work with public, private and community organizations to design, test and establish more efficient and gender-responsive interventions to upgrade it, including women&apos;s participation in certified seed multiplication. Six innovation platforms will be established in two different agroecological zones to facilitate stakeholders&apos; participation in piloting and demonstrating the impacts of improved varieties and crop management practices on productivity, income and climate resilience. It is expected that 5,000 men and women farmers will be adopting improved wheat varieties and agronomic practices (including conservation agriculture and supplemental irrigation informed by digital sensors and satellite imagery), thus contributing to increasing the productivity of wheat-based production systems and their resilience to climate change. 

This project is supported through the Wheat Research Accelerator Fund initiative, which is a co-funding partnership between IDRC and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada.</narrative>
