First quinoa harvest reflected research-to-field transfer in Larache

<p>On the 23rd of July, Al Moutmir marked the first quinoa harvest on a demonstration platform in the province of Larache.</p>

<p>The activity is part of a three-year program led by OCP to promote quinoa as a climate-resilient crop. Initiated through laboratory research at UM6P, the program aims to transfer knowledge to farmers through demonstration platforms and integrated production methods adapted to climate variability.</p>

<p>More than 100 platforms were deployed across 12 provinces, combining seed production, technical support, and genotype-environment interaction research. The first results show promising yields and increasing farmer interest in quinoa as an adaptive strategy for future climatic conditions.</p>
