Mustapha El Janati | Organic Farming | Sustainable Agriculture Innovation Award

Published on by Plant Scientist

Assist. Prof. Dr. Mustapha El Janati | Organic Farming | Sustainable Agriculture Innovation Award

IAV Hassan II | Morocco

Mustapha El Janati is an agronomist and researcher specializing in sustainable agriculture, composting, and circular farming systems. He holds dual PhD degrees from the Institut Agronomique et Vétérinaire Hassan II (IAV Hassan II) in Rabat, Morocco, and the Institut Agro Rennes-Angers in France. His doctoral research focused on enhancing circular agriculture in Moroccan oases through the management of organic by-products and composting of date palm residues. El Janati has contributed to several international projects, including MASSIRE and OASIL, where he developed composting guidelines, conducted agroecological training, and promoted organic farming practices. He has also been involved in the development of the organic date palm industry in Morocco. His research interests encompass soil fertility, agroecology, and the integration of crop-livestock systems. He has published articles in journals such as Sustainability and Springer, with his work on circular agriculture cited over 35 times (MDPI), and holds an H-index of 3, a citation count of 40. El Janati is affiliated with the Mohammed VI Polytechnic University in Ben Guerir, Morocco, where he continues to advance research in agronomy and sustainable farming practices.
