Our research focuses on understanding how soils, plants, and microorganisms interact to sustain agricultural productivity. We study soil composition, microbial communities, nutrient cycling, and the biological processes that allow plants to access essential nutrients in a sustainable way.
Artificial intelligence and satellite imagery are used in several projects for data collection, processing, prediction, and recommendations. Digitization makes life easier for farmers and automates certain tasks that are difficult.
Agrometeorology – which is not a new science – studies the impact of climate on agriculture and how agriculture influences the climate. However, its relevance has recently increased due to.

After two postdoctoral experiences, at Eawag (the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology), and then at the University of New Hampshire (United States), Dr. Myriam Benkirane joined the.
With Youssef Belmabkhout Waste, including phosphogypsum, resulting from the industrial processing of phosphate, is rightly denounced for its negative impact on the environment, not to mention its bulkiness. Until then,.
According to a study published in Nature, some of our staple crops could face “substantial” production losses due to climate disruption, even if farmers adapt to worsening weather conditions. The.
The future of farming lies beneath our feet—within the microscopic world of beneficial microbes. As agriculture faces mounting challenges exacerbated by climate change, innovative solutions are essential. Dr. Brahim Benbrik,.
Humanity is on the verge of breaking the water poverty line – 1,000 m3 of water per year per capita – below which its food security would be seriously compromised..
Mascir is a multidisciplinary R&D centre associated with UM6P. Its work in a wide range of fields includes advanced research into algae biotechnology and remote sensing, which have a number.
