Practice question
How do export growth, local food availability and sustainable resource use relate to each other, and where do they conflict?
Local relevance
Horticulture provides employment and income in Souss-Massa and beyond. At the same time, water is scarce and food security has many dimensions: availability, access, stability, agency and sustainability. Route2030 explores these relations openly, and develops cooperation between vocational education, universities of applied sciences, universities and Moroccan education and research organisations.
Possible interventions
- Joint knowledge development between Moroccan and Dutch institutions
- Exchange on governance, market access and continuity
- Education partnerships with concrete roles once agreements exist
Conditions
- Equal partnership and local decision-making
- Transparency about tensions between goals
Research questions
- How can horticultural growth contribute to local food security?
- Which institutional arrangements keep knowledge locally available?
Measurement points
- Employment and training reach
- Continuity arrangements after the programme
Note
Export growth, local food availability and resource use are different outcomes and are reported separately.
