As part of the preparations for the current agricultural season, Hassiba Benbouali University of Chlef has allocated five hectares of land at the Ouled Fares hub for farming activities. The university president, Professor Larbi Ghouini, toured the agricultural testing station alongside officials from the Chamber of Agriculture, the Directorate of Agricultural Services, and the Cereal Office. This move, supported by a newly signed cooperation agreement, aims to utilize previously unused plots and bridge the gap between academic research and the practical demands of farmers, fostering applied projects that benefit the province's agricultural sector.
