This research thesis explores the optimization of resources for sustainable growth within Morocco’s tomato industry through the application of circular economy principles. The study focuses on how resource optimization can enhance sustainability and efficiency, addressing critical challenges such as water scarcity, soil degradation, and climate change impacts. By integrating circular economy practices, the agricultural sector can transition from a linear ‘take, make, dispose’ model to a more sustainable ‘reuse, recycle, regenerate’ approach. The research involves a comprehensive literature review and empirical data collection through semi-structured interviews with stakeholders across the tomato industry value chain. Key areas of resource optimization identified include renewable energy integration, waste reduction and recycling, and innovative water management techniques. The findings aim to provide actionable strategies for transforming the tomato industry, aligning with national sustainability initiatives like the Green Morocco Plan, and ultimately contributing to a more resilient and sustainable agricultural sector in Morocco.
