Ben Guerir – The Wissenschaftwoche of UM6P is increasingly becoming the ultimate platform, which illuminates the rise of Morocco as a leading African voice in a number of strategic sectors.
The North African country Processes The largest raw phosphate reserve, which in the hearts of Africa and the world of the world after sustainability, argued a prominent expert on Tuesday in his keynote speech on the opening day of the science week of UM6P.
Jacob Jones, director of science and technologies for phosphorus sustainability (steps), kept his keynote presentation on the sustainability of phosphorus and focused on the crucial role of Morocco in this critical resource.
“Morocco is the ideal place to have such conversations because it is sustainable in the global sustainability of phosphorus,” said Jones and referred to the control of the Morocco over approximately 70% of global phosphate reserves.
phosphorus Drives Important plant processes such as energy and nutrient transport, photosynthesis and cell division. When used correctly, phosphorus -rich fertilizers increase the availability of this vital nutrient for plants and improve their growth and productivity.
On the sidelines of a presentation on phosphorus and sustainability, Jones spoke of phosphorus to sustainability.
In an interview with Morocco World News (MWN), Jones said: As the holder of 70% of the global phosphate rock reserves, Morocco is a “ideal leadership to understand the world to understand the sustainability of phosphate use”.
Jones further explained that Morocco, as the holder of 70% of the world’s worldwide, is positioned as a “ideal leadership to convocate the world about understanding the sustainability of phosphate use”.

The director of steps outlined by steps outlined, especially in Africa, and found that “over the next 75 years the United Nations will be the greatest population growth in Africa south of the Sahara”.
Especially he explained“Countries like Nigeria are expected to increase by 900% by 2050.”
While the Science Week gathered scientists from various areas, Jones’ presentation focused on the weight of interdisciplinary approaches to cope with these challenges.
“We are not allowed to work in silos as a scientist,” warned Jones, campaigning for a “convergence approach” that integrates different areas from microbiology to computer science and engineering.
The work of the step center includes innovative research methods, e.g.
Jones explained Understanding the relationships between the climate, agriculture and soil chemistry in phosphorus concentrations shows why nutrient management must be tailored to various ecological regions, including Africa.
The convergence of the vision of the Science Week for African scientific leadership and Jones’ expertise in phosphorus sustainability shows the unique position of UM6P at the interface of global challenges and local solutions.
The Science Week program will continue until February 23. With meetings on artificial intelligence, sustainable agriculture, future careers and the interface between science, ethics and philosophy, the commitment of UM6P for interdisciplinary approaches for global challenges reflects.
