Morocco’s agricultural sector, which is essential to the economy, faces major challenges such as population growth and the effects of climate change. Digitalization is a promising solution to improve productivity, optimize yields, reduce environmental impact and better manage natural resources. By integrating technologies such as precision agriculture and smart irrigation, it becomes possible to maximize efficiency while reducing the ecological footprint. Training farmers in these digital tools plays a crucial role, improving the use of inputs and promoting more efficient water management. However, access to this training remains a significant barrier, especially for small farms, which often lack the resources to benefit from these innovations. This article aims to analyze how digitalization can reconcile economic performance and sustainability in the Moroccan agricultural sector, while identifying the levers to be activated to facilitate the adoption of these technologies.

Abstract
Morocco’s agricultural sector, which is essential to the economy, faces major challenges such as population growth and the effects of climate change. Digitalization is a promising solution to improve productivity, optimize yields, reduce environmental impact and better manage natural resources. By integrating technologies such as precision agriculture and smart irrigation, it becomes possible to maximize efficiency while reducing the ecological footprint. Training farmers in these digital tools plays a crucial role, improving the use of inputs and promoting more efficient water management. However, access to this training remains a significant barrier, especially for small farms, which often lack the resources to benefit from these innovations. This article aims to analyze how digitalization can reconcile economic performance and sustainability in the Moroccan agricultural sector, while identifying the levers to be activated to facilitate the adoption of these technologies.

Abstract: (french)
Le secteur agricole marocain, essentiel à l’économie, fait face à des défis majeurs tels que la croissance démographique et les effets du changement climatique. La digitalisation se présente comme une solution prometteuse pour améliorer la productivité, optimiser les rendements, réduire l’impact environnemental et mieux gérer les ressources naturelles. En intégrant des technologies telles que l’agriculture de précision et l’irrigation intelligente, il devient possible de maximiser l’efficacité tout en réduisant l’empreinte écologique. La formation des agriculteurs à ces outils numériques joue un rôle crucial, en améliorant l’utilisation des intrants et en favorisant une gestion plus efficace de l’eau. Toutefois, l’accès à cette formation demeure une barrière importante, en particulier pour les petites exploitations, qui manquent souvent des ressources nécessaires pour bénéficier de ces innovations. Cet article a pour objectif d’analyser comment la digitalisation peut concilier performance économique et durabilité dans le secteur agricole marocain, tout en identifiant les leviers à activer pour faciliter l’adoption de ces technologies.
