A scientific workshop on the sustainable future of Algerian agriculture will be organized on May 9 at the National School of Agronomics (ENSA) in Algiers, we learned Monday from this university institution.
This workshop, which is part of a cooperation project between ENSA and the Agricultural University of Wageningen, with the contribution of the Embassy of the Netherlands in Algeria, “is intended to be a space for multi-stakeholder debate on the agricultural challenges and the avenues for technological development to deal with them”, according to the organizers.
The workshop, which will be facilitated by Algerian and Dutch academics, will address the challenges of maintaining, or even improving, the dynamics of Algerian agriculture to be able to cope with an increasingly important internal food demand.
According to the same source, the speakers will deal in their communications with the challenges of Algerian agriculture, in particular the vegetable sectors, and the prospects for innovation and technological development to face the challenges of the future.
It will also be a question of developing reflections to counter the growing scarcity of resources, such as water and fertile land, as well as increasingly unfavorable climatic conditions, marked by the aggravation of extreme phenomena linked to climate change such as drought, heat spikes, floods, and many more.
Participants will also look at Algerian-Dutch cooperation and the role to play in helping to solve Algeria’s future agricultural challenges.
