The article highlights the Moroccan government's efforts to revitalize cactus cultivation in regions devastated by the white cochineal or mealybug, a parasite that ruined prickly pear production. Following the development of cochineal-resistant strains, a project to rejuvenate cactus farms is underway, involving the planting of ecotypes, the establishment of service cooperatives, and the creation of income-generating activities for women and young rural people. This initiative is part of a larger government program aimed at mitigating the effects of rainfall deficit on agriculture, which includes the distribution of subsidized barley and compound feed, the creation of 80 water points for livestock, and the treatment of beehives against varroasis.
