This comprehensive review article illuminates Morocco's proactive response to climate change challenges over the past decades. Faced with drought episodes akin other Mediterranean countries, Morocco contends significant water stress, boasting limited resources estimated at 20 billion cubic meters and an annual per capita consumption of 700 m3. The country experiences a temperature surge 0.3–2.5 °C, coupled decreased precipitation, heightening impact on resources. plans 40 % reduction in emissions by 2030 (18.3 unconditional, 27.2 conditional international aid) impressive 77 decrease 2050 compared Business as Usual levels. study offers comprehensive, groundbreaking analysis, representing first low-carbon strategy energy initiatives. It meticulously examines 155 research papers through Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) methodology, categorizing solutions into engineering managerial domains. Covering power, transport, building, industry, agriculture, provides taxonomy solutions, including renewable energy, auditing, efficiency, sufficiency, digitalization management. Simultaneously, ranging from education subsidies policy reforms, are detailed. These contribute standing leader action clean transition. Despite these contributions, acknowledges potential limitations, reliance available literature regional variations solution applicability. Nonetheless, it serves foundational resource understanding endeavors addressing promoting sustainable practices.

European Union Citizens’ Perception of the Reasons for the Cost of the Common Agricultural Policy

European Countryside, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 17(1), P. 137 - 152

Published: March 1, 2025

Abstract The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is a major instrument to regulate the sustainable use of resources while guaranteeing social cohesion. Understanding people’s perception this policy mandatory formalize it without disruptions. This research report was designed understand EU citizen’s reasons why we should spend around 30% budget on CAP. We used Eurobarometer survey containing 26,502 interviews with citizens and modelled their answers using significant statistical model. study reveals that respondents’ perceptions European agriculture, CAP are influenced by gender, age, education, household size, class. Women’s views highlight EU’s role in funding food security, adherence production standards. Men focus economic demands agriculture its sustainability. Age differences show older individuals’ historical understanding younger Education level impacts perceptions, less educated individuals recognizing importance financial aid for security higher costs due regulations, more investments required environmental benefits Larger communities emphasize regulatory costs, whereas rural residents practical challenges farming. Higher classes aware centralized agricultural investment needs, lower prioritize sustainability climate change mitigation.

Integration of smart sensors and IOT in precision agriculture: trends, challenges and future prospectives

Frontiers in Plant Science, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 16

Published: May 14, 2025

Traditional farming methods, effective for generations, struggle to meet rising global food demands due limitations in productivity, efficiency, and sustainability amid climate change resource scarcity. Precision agriculture presents a viable solution by optimizing use, enhancing fostering sustainable practices through data-driven decision-making supported advanced sensors Internet of Things (IoT) technologies. This review examines various smart used precision agriculture, including soil moisture, pH, plant stress etc. These deliver real-time data that enables informed decision-making, facilitating targeted interventions like optimized irrigation, fertilization, pest management. Additionally, the highlights transformative role IoT agriculture. The integration sensor networks with platforms allows remote monitoring, analysis via artificial intelligence (AI) machine learning (ML), automated control systems, enabling predictive analytics address challenges such as disease outbreaks yield forecasting. However, while offers significant benefits, it faces high initial investment costs, complexities management, needs technical expertise, security privacy concerns, issues connectivity agricultural areas. Addressing these technological economic is essential maximizing potential sustainability. Therefore, this we explore latest trends, challenges, opportunities associated enabled
