This paper discusses the benefits of changing from actual agricultural systems to no-tillage for Moroccan dry farming. Recent findings showed that no-tillage cropping systems are the best ways to manage risk and improve efficiency and accordingly present two major agronomic advantages: (i) sustain or maintain crop productivity vis-a-vis variations in climate while reducing costs and natural resource degradation; and (ii) diverse crops and intensify the rotation to meet farmer's needs while maintaining a protective residue cover to curb erosion and evaporation and enhance water and nutrient use efficiency. Technological developments in machinery will increase adaptation to adverse soil and climate conditions. Improvements in no-till drill design, which focus on proper seed and fertilizer placement, are needed and national no-till drill industry should be favoured.
