La Recherche en Action

The “Eco-Barley: Towards Sustainable Agriculture” project aims to develop an innovative hydroponic system for the production of green barley, intended for feeding livestock in the town of Jdeida, an area where agricultural lands are disappearing due to creeping urbanization. Following the design of this system by young researchers, a hydroponic barley production structure will be established with a partner, and the soilless barley cultivation can begin and be monitored by the project team. At the end of this testing phase, the transfer of this method and know-how will be organized for small-scale farmers in Jdeida.
