Geological mapping and soil characterization in identifying agricultural related hazards using freely-available Copernicus-Sentinel data, leading to best-practices for sustainable agriculture in Tabular Middle atlas/morocco,

Currently, 1.2 billion people live in Africa, in 2050 we will be 2.4 billion, many limitations for african farmers lead to low productivity and low incomes, some sub-saharan African countries don’t get 25 % potential farmland output, In Africa , farming is rain fed activity which makes it much vulnerable to climate change. Low smallholder farmer’s productivity and incomes lead to poverty, hunger and lack of development. In 2000, Morocco lost 1-1.4 % GDP due to water problem issues and 0.3-0.6 % GDP due to Soil and forest deteriorations, mitigation and adaptation require infrastructures and best technologies, Sentinel data for best agriculture practices and ensure the quality of water and environmental protection,Tabular Middle Atlas (TMA)/Morocco holds the main source of water, It is used for agriculture, sanitation, construction , gardening, etc. Geologically TMA is dominated by carbonated rocks, These rocks have developed sinkholes by which fertilizers and herbicides penetrate, reach water reservoirs and affect the health of millions of people.
