Diversity and Relative Abundance of Insect Pollinators in Moroccan Agroecosystems
Agroecosystems are often impoverished ecosystems, but they can host diverse communities of insects which provide ecosystem services. Specifically, crops may benefit from insect pollinators that increase their quantity and ...
Farmers Have Too Low Knowledge to Protect and Benefit from Native Pollinators – Insight from Morocco
In 2016 The Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) showed that agricultural production is now twice as dependent on pol- linators than five decades ago, but pollinator ...
New ISI publication on enabling factors for farmer-driven pollinator protection
The replication of the FAP-cucumber trial in Uzbekistan (2013-2014) in Morocco (2015-2016) demonstrated the agronomic replicability of Farming with Alternative Pollinators (FAP). However, it also revealed that in countries ...
Investing in resilience: addressing climate-induced displacement in the MENA region
Climate change threatens the viability of agriculture, ecosystems, and rural livelihoods in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). In a region where agriculture is a critical source of employment and income, environmental ...
Investigating the Link between Soil and Plant Silica Content in the Context of Research on Wheat Resistance to Drought Stress under Mediterranean Climate.
Silicon (Si) is a beneficial nutrient for many plants as it mitigates the negative impacts of various abiotic and biotic stresses. Wheat (Triticum aestivum), for instance, benefits from Si
through an increased resistance ...
Farming with alternative pollinators’ approach supports diverse and abundant pollinator community in melon fields in a semi-arid landscape
The presence of pollinating insects in crop fields is an essential factor for agricultural
production and pollinator conservation. Agricultural intensification has been identified as a driver of pollinator decline over the ...
الزراعة بالملقحات البرية (فاب) في المناطق ذات تساقطات ملائمة
This brochure advises farmers in regions with adequate rainfall how to protect wild pollinators and increase simultaneously farmers’ incomes. The brochure shows what is needed in this agro-ecosystem to sustain pollinator ...
Farming with Alternative Pollinators (FAP) in mountainous regions
This brochure advises farmers in mountainous regions how to protect wild pollinators and increase simultaneously farmers’ incomes. The brochure shows what is needed in this agro-ecosystem to sustain pollinator diversity ...
Guide for agricultural advisors: Farming with Alternative Pollinators (FAP)
The 'Conservation of pollinator diversity for enhanced climate change resilience' project has trained many ONCA advisors for extension on FAP and prepared a field guide for farmers in English and Arabic for ONCA. ONCA had ...
Farming with Alternative Pollinators (FAP) in regions with adequate rainfall
This brochure advises farmers in regions with adequate rainfall how to protect wild pollinators and increase simultaneously farmers’ incomes. The brochure shows what is needed in this agro-ecosystem to sustain pollinator ...
