The agrifood system in the Mediterranean region faces several challenges, being a land extremely vulnerable to climate change and witnessing the constant struggle between quantity and quality of production and resources management. The erosion of the Mediterranean diet heritage is also alarming as it has undesirable impacts not only on health but also on the social, cultural, economic and environmental trends in the Mediterranean region.
Strengthening capacities of local institutions and smallholder farmers to support agrifood systems transformation
This project aims to support the transformation of agrifood systems for rural prosperity through capacity development, scaling up innovative solutions adopting open innovation programmes and providing technical assistance to relevant local institutions and smallholder farmers in the Mediterranean area, with a strong focus on youth and women.
To achieve its objective, the project will focus on the:
FAO “4 Betters” Strategic Framework
Better Production
