Abstract

This article aims to explore the natural and anthropogenic causes of the food crisis in the Mediterranean and its impact on the development of the Region. Faced with a very modern European agriculture, the agricultural systems of southern Mediterranean maintain a structural weakness, partly due to natural constraints. This weakness is compounded by climate change which determines a decrease in water availability and penalizes agriculture. In the SEMC, the food crisis is the result of various local factors such as population dynamics which generate a sustained demand for food ; agro-climatic constraints that limit agricultural production and increase dependency on imports in order to achieve food security ; and rapid changes in consumption patterns.
