Sustainability of agri-food trade: Implications for food and water security in Morocco 

Like many other lower-income countries, Morocco has become an increasingly important exporter of fresh fruits and vegetables. While these changing trade patterns have created many employment opportunities, it is still unclear what the overall sustainability implications are. The aim of this project is to evaluate the effects of Morocco's agri-food trade on food and water security.  Using nationally representative, time series datasets, the analysis will focus on nutritional effects and water use.
