Rifluencers for Change

Summary of Action

The Rif region in Morocco faces severe environmental challenges, including deforestation, overgrazing, and unsustainable farming. These issues have led to ecological degradation, socio-economic difficulties, and increasing migration to cities and Europe as young people search for better opportunities. This trend exacerbates the depopulation of rural areas and creates challenges in urban and destination regions.

This project aims to raise awareness among young people in the Netherlands and Flanders about the interconnectedness of environmental degradation, migration, and global inequality. By focusing on the potential of regenerative agriculture and permaculture, it seeks to inspire youth to take action, fostering sustainable solutions for the Rif and beyond.

Key goals

1. Raising awareness about the benefits of ecological restoration through regenerative agriculture and permaculture
2. Demonstrating how community-driven approaches can address environmental and socio-economic challenges tied to migration
3. Engaging young people to actively participate in sustainability efforts inspired by the Riforest initiative

Activities involve

• Social media campaigns led by influencers to share success stories and practical solutions
• Workshops showcasing regenerative agricultural practices, permaculture techniques, and their positive impact

This project highlights the role of young people in addressing global challenges through sustainable practices. By linking migration and environmental restoration, it encourages a sense of shared responsibility and empowers youth to contribute to a sustainable future, benefiting both the Rif and the global community.
