Constraints for Adoption of CA Systems in the MENA Region

Abstract

Lack of political and Institutional support:

- For policy-makers and institutional leaders, transformation of tillage to CA systems requires that they fully understand the large economic, social and environmental benefits that these systems offer; - Partial incentives and ‘motivations’ to encourage farmers to adopt components of CA practices and improve them over time are provided (and for some countries); - Policy makers and institutional leaders are not well sensitized on the CA benefits.
