Speaking on behalf of Morocco at the United Nations Pre-Summit on Food Systems, Balla stressed that resilience, particularly to climate change, research and development are central objectives for the Kingdom, which aims to improve income for agricultural producers, notably small farmers, while contributing to inclusive economic growth that respects the environment.

The Ambassador recalled, in this regard, that the Kingdom, under the leadership of HM King Mohammed VI, focused on the agricultural sector as a national development engine implementing the Green Generation 2020-2030, to improve the resilience and sustainability of food systems within the framework of the decade of action, through the enhancement of the human capital, in particular young people, as well as the continuation of the development dynamic of the sector.

 Balla also stressed that the Green Generation will serve as an instrument of recovery after the COVID-19 crisis and of rural resilience being fully in line with the new challenges.
