We purchase local fertilizer traditionally used to support soil organic matter content and promote high and healthy agricultural yields.
We hire daily laborers from the villages benefitting from the terracing.
Agricultural terracing has been practiced for generations, allowing steep landscapes to be used to cultivate vegetable gardens, cereals, and trees. The technique provides arable land to mountain communities, prevents erosion and nutrient runoff, and allows for a remarkably efficient use of water resources.
Almond and walnut tree cultivation is a significant source of income, and the terrace infrastructure required for this activity was heavily impacted by the September 8th, 2023 earthquake. By collaborating with farmers, civil associations, and cooperatives to implement the project, we will reconstruct and expand agricultural terraces critical to livelihood.
Due to the traditional building materials and techniques required for such infrastructure, the cost of construction is limited to tools and minimal materials.
By the end of this project, 16 hectares of terraces (approximately 800 terraces) will be restored and operational, supporting an estimated 25,000 people in the High Atlas Mountains.
