Abstract

Considering agricultural vulnerability to climate change. Morocco is confronted with the increasing prevalence of drought. The study aimed to examine the socio-economic impacts of sustainable development on agriculture in Morocco by analyzing the existing literature to explore and provide up-to-date information about recent changes and trends. It concluded that the adoption of sustainable practices fostered productivity and reduced the volatility of value-added in agriculture. However, the main challenges are water scarcity and difficulty in the adoption of new practices due to the high illiteracy rate in rural areas 50.9% (2014).
