Wissal Ben Moussa, a Moroccan agronomist, is spearheading a regenerative agriculture project in Morocco to restore land degraded by overgrazing and drought. Her work focuses on the Souss-Massa region, where she collaborates with local farmers to implement techniques like agroforestry and composting.
According to a 2025 report by the Moroccan Ministry of Agriculture, the project has rehabilitated over 500 hectares of land, increasing soil organic matter by 20% and boosting crop yields for participating farmers. Ben Moussa's approach emphasizes indigenous knowledge and water conservation.
This initiative is part of a broader trend in North Africa, where regenerative farming is gaining traction as a solution to desertification. Ben Moussa has received recognition from the FAO for her contributions to sustainable agriculture.
