ARIMNet RATIONALE
Agriculture and Food systems are major issues in the Mediterranean
economies, in terms of : economics, employment, rural development,
natural resources management..
Mediterranean countries agricultures are facing similar problems and
challenges: climate change, water scarcity, natural resources
degradation, food security, animal and plant diseases.
Mediterranean issues are too often looked each side separately, while
they need to be considered and addressed jointly.
Agricultural Research Capacities in the Mediterranean are scattered and
fragmented.
