| Sumario: | The present report highlights the outcomes of the workshop organized under “Enhancing food security
and climate resilience in Morocco through innovative seed systems and scaling mechanisms in the
wheat-based production systems" project in collaboration with the F2R – CWANA From Fragility to
Resilience in Central and West Asia and North Africa (F2R-CWANA) initiative and within the WP1
on “Innovations in partnerships, policies and platforms for the efficient, inclusive and climate resilient
transformation of agrifood systems in Morocco”. The workshop gathered most of the actors in the
Moroccan seed sector to address issues they all face. Issues included limited adoption of national
varieties, lack of investment, and visible impacts of climate variability. The recommendations included
strengthening partnerships, improving the production and certification of seeds, prioritizing climate
resilient varieties, and advocating innovative approaches through digital platforms and research
incentives. The most decisive action taken at this meeting is that between INRA, FNIS, and SONACOS,
a collaboration agreement is signed, through which popularization activities will proceed with seeds
provided by ICARDA. This is expected to contribute towards strengthening the seed systems within
Morocco to pave the way for more resilient agriculture and sustainable food security within the country.
