Abstract

The present work aims to analyze the dynamics of an oasis territory known historically by the agriculture of the date palm, through the territorialization of a localized agri-food system (LAFS) in the phoeniculture sector. This territory is Tafilalet located in the region of Daraâ-Tafilalet in southeast Morocco. From there, to analyze this relationship between the territoriality of this LAFS and the dynamics of Tafilalet we adopt a qualitative approach based mainly on dozens of interviews with different local actors of the LAFS of the date palm in Tafilalet (LAFS-DPT). In terms of results, we presented the four levers of territorialization of the LAFS of the date palm in Tafilalet (physical, cognitive, historical and interpersonal, and institutional), and their economic, social, and environmental impacts on the territory. This shows a territorial dynamic with four figures (production, valorization, quality, and commercialization), supported by an important environmental sustainability orientation of the system, and thus an orientation of the LAFS of the date palm in Tafilalet towards the model of a territorialized food system (TFS).
