Expert Summary

Je suis chercheur en développement rural et mes recherches sont orientées dans plusieurs domaines, notamment la dégradation et conservation des sols, l’horticulture, le développement rural et la gestion de projets. Cela fait plus de 20 ans que je travaille dans ces domaines. J’ai coordonné une dizaine de projets de développement agricole et rural avec plusieurs entités : OCP-Maroc, BAD, BADEA, UE, FAO, PNUD. J’ai dirigé la Direction des Services de la Sylviculture et Génie Rural de la Direction Générale de l'Agriculture, Sylviculture et Elevage du Ministère de l'Agriculture et de l'Environnement (DGASP-MAA), La Coordination des Laboratoires de Sol et Géospatial de l’INIDA-MAA. Depuis 2022, j'assume la Direction de Recherche, Innovation et Technologie et la Direction de l’Agriculture et Elevage de l’INIDA-MAA.
