Crisis and Resilience in the Mediterranean
Environmental, economic and political crises that the Mediterranean is experiencing are multiple both in nature and in number and they contribute to the degradation of living conditions of populations and production and strike a blow against the efforts made in terms of food security and development. In this Watch Letter, the CIHEAM wishes to present various Mediterranean situations where agriculture, fisheries and food have a role to play in crisis prevention and management.
