🇲🇦 Last week, we explored how Morocco’s ancient grains, traditional varieties of barley and durum wheat, embody #resilience, #heritage, and #sustainability 🌱 ❌ Yet, despite their potential, these crops still face structural barriers that hinder their regeneration and use.  👇 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐠𝐚𝐩𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐰. 🎯 These challenges show that unlocking the full potential of Morocco’s ancient cereals requires a shift in policy, one that values biodiversity, empowers #farmers, and redefines agricultural #resilience 🏦 💡 𝑵𝒆𝒙𝒕 𝒘𝒆𝒆𝒌, 𝒘𝒆 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒔𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒂 𝒔𝒆𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒕𝒆 𝒑𝒐𝒍𝒊𝒄𝒚 𝒓𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒄𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒉𝒆𝒍𝒑 𝑴𝒐𝒓𝒐𝒄𝒄𝒐 𝒃𝒓𝒊𝒅𝒈𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒔𝒆 𝒈𝒂𝒑𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒃𝒖𝒊𝒍𝒅 𝒂 𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒔𝒖𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆, 𝒊𝒏𝒄𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒗𝒆, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒇𝒖𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆-𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒐𝒇 𝒄𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒍 𝒔𝒚𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒎. #SEEDSOFCHANGE #seedseu #environmentprotection #biodiversity #climatechange #plantingawareness
