Daily life in Marsa Matrouh Academy Farm

Daily life at Marsa Matrouh Academy Farm reflects a rhythm shaped by the desert environment and sustainable agriculture. Mornings begin with animal care, tending to Barki sheep and young Maghrebi camels, followed by irrigation and monitoring of salt-tolerant forage crops such as Atriplex, Acacia, barley, and cowpeas. Throughout the day, students and staff engage in fieldwork, data collection, and practical training, balancing livestock management with crop production. The farm serves as a living classroom, where innovation in saline agriculture and resource management is part of everyday practice.
