Senior Dairy Science lecturer at Hassan II Agronomy and Veterinary Medicine Institute (IAV), Rabat (Morocco). Master in Animal Science from Hassan II IAV (1994), Ph D in Animal Science from Gembloux Agricultural University (Belgium, 2004).
I have been the Director of the School of Agricultural Sciences (Agronomy) at IAV Hassan II from November 2017 to February 2023.
I have developed since the beginning of my academic career a systemic approach to analyze livestock farming systems in Morocco and in the Maghreb countries, with a focus on dairy cattle production. My main research topics are in relationship with resources uses (capital, labor, land and water) and their consequences on dairy cattle performances (milk yield, milk quality, reproduction, etc.) and profitability, particularly within smallholder farms, which are crucial actors in the supply of raw milk in Morocco. Consequently, I have made some research on work needs within livestock farms and the way farmers and the members of their households adapt themselves to work constraints. I have also been involved in specific research teams working on the oasis agriculture, particularly with regard to crop/livestock integration in these water scarce areas, as well as work needs to get dates and animal source food (milk and meat). I have published more than 70 articles in peer reviewed journals and participated in several international scientific meetings dedicated to animal production and the complexity of crop/livestock integration.
