The National School of Agriculture of Meknes (ENA Meknes), established in 1942, is a leading Moroccan public higher education and research institution dedicated to agronomic sciences, agricultural innovation, and rural development. Located in Meknes, at the heart of one of Morocco’s most important agricultural regions, ENA Meknes plays a strategic role in training high-level agricultural engineers and generating scientific knowledge to support more sustainable, resilient, and resource-efficient agri-food systems. The institution has developed multidisciplinary expertise in areas such as crop production, soil and water management, plant health, agricultural economics, rural development, agroecology, and digital and precision agriculture, with strong capacities in applied research, field experimentation, and innovation for Mediterranean farming systems. Through its close interaction with farmers, cooperatives, professional organizations, public institutions, and private stakeholders, ENA Meknes actively contributes to addressing key challenges related to climate adaptation, sustainable natural resource management, crop monitoring, food quality, and value-chain development. Supported by an experienced academic and scientific community, specialized departments, and an institutional environment that encourages partnership, technology transfer, and international cooperation, the School offers a strong platform for collaborative projects linking research excellence with practical impact. ENA Meknes also benefits from solid expertise in the olive value chain, ranging from nursery production and orchard management to olive oil processing and by-product valorization, which further strengthens its relevance as a partner for initiatives focused on sustainable agriculture, agri-food innovation, and Mediterranean value chains.
