Abstract

The development of agriculture and rural areas in Southern and Eastern Mediterranean countries (SEMCs) faces very serious challenges. This is well understood; In this introduction, we will come back to four of these main challenges: namely, import dependency, rural poverty, degradation of natural resources, and erosion of the Mediterranean diet, trying to be specific on the nature and magnitude of the challenges. Secondly, since the main purpose of this book is to report the results of a large research project on the sustainability of agriculture in SEMCs (the SustainMED project), we will briefly describe the project and then introduce the chapters of the book as contributions from the SustainMED project.
