Dar Taliba is an all-girls boarding school where the Moroccan Biodiversity and Livelihoods Association (MBLA) has been hosting its environmental education programme since 2014. The programme tackles all agrobiodiversity aspects by organising workshops on plant preservation, plant uses, permaculture techniques and traditional conservation practices. Dar Taliba includes a botanical garden where girls from the school plant and cultivate thousands of seeds, as well as harvest fruits and vegetables to be used in preparing meals in the school all around the year. Dar Taliba is always open to the public for harvest tours and various biodiversity-related workshops promoting the importance of preserving local food and biodiversity as part of creating and encouraging cultural exchanges between urban and rural regions.

This event is organised by MBLA for Harvest Festival
