Morocco, as one of the Mediterranean counties, faces intensifying agriculture challenges caused by the climate change, and water scarcity consider as the main challenge. Traditional farming systems are increasingly vulnerable to these pressures. Urgent action is needed to develop resilient, resource-efficient food production systems that align with the Water-Energy-Food- Ecosystem (WEFE) Nexus. The FrontAg Nexus project showcases UM6P trapezoidal closed loop hydroponic systems demo site. This soilless cultivation method offers precise control over nutrient delivery and water use, enabling significant resource optimization. Adopting closed-loop hydroponic systems, especially when integrated with renewable energy and alternative water sources, enhances sustainability and circularity.
