Tunisia is set to host an ecological agriculture caravan starting November 8, which will tour the northern and northwestern regions of the country. The caravan is organized by the "CAPTE" association in collaboration with the International Center for Agricultural Research in Dry Areas (ICARDA) and is part of the "TransforMed PRIMA" project. The initiative aims to promote sustainable agriculture practices, conserve natural resources, and enhance biodiversity.
The caravan will run until February 2027, making stops in several regions, including the governorate of Kef, where it will launch on November 8. The event coincides with Tunisia's celebration of Tree Day. The caravan's primary objective is to raise awareness about the importance of sustainable agriculture and environmental conservation, particularly in the face of climate change.
The ecological agriculture caravan targets farmers, students, researchers, technicians, and representatives of local associations and structures. The event will provide a platform for sharing experiences, exchanging ideas, and fostering cooperation among stakeholders. By promoting sustainable agriculture practices, the caravan aims to contribute to the development of resilient agricultural systems in the Mediterranean region.
The initiative is part of a broader effort to address land degradation and climate change in the region. By adopting a holistic approach that combines agricultural production with environmental conservation, the caravan seeks to promote sustainable development and improve the livelihoods of rural communities. Tunisia's ecological agriculture caravan is a pioneering initiative that has been gaining attention in recent years.
The caravan will feature various activities, including training sessions, workshops, and field visits. These events will focus on sustainable agriculture techniques, soil conservation, and water management. By sharing knowledge and expertise, the caravan aims to empower farmers and local communities to adopt more sustainable practices and improve their resilience to climate change.
