Context Environmental and social changes are deeply affecting Euro- Mediterranean agro-food systems and water resources. Unsustainable agricultural practices, lack of water, over exploitation of natural resources, new lifestyle behaviours (diet, physical activity and socio-cultural) and low profitability of smallholders are challenging the sustainable and healthy development of the Region, with major impacts on our societies.
History => Over the last years, growing awareness of the challenges related to agro-food systems and water resources in the Mediterranean area have induced EU member states and Southern and Eastern Mediterranean Countries (SEMCs) to work together on several common research initiatives These initiatives have achieved important results, allowing the creation of a strong network of excellent scientists from both shores of the Mediterranean with a diverse background and reinforcing mutual trust among Countries. Good examples of these initiatives include ARIMNET and ERANETMED, showing effective North-South co-funding, co-decision and coownership.
Beginning - Euro-Mediterranean Conference held in Barcelona in 2012 => to better integrate research and innovation EC suggested the need for an initiative based on Article 185 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU (TFEU) - 4PRIMA CSA => to provide PRIMA initiative with the necessary support and preparatory actions needed in order to deliver a long term partnership with secured funding for R&I cooperation from the participating countries and leverage effect at regional and European level. => SRIA => on-line public consultation May 2017 (861 replies/28 countries)

Common Mediterranean Challenges • Climate change The Mediterranean is one of the most vulnerable regions to climate change and is predicted to become even warmer and drier than it already is. The main effects are regional water shortages, with major impacts on agriculture and food security affecting, soils sustainability and crop yields. • Population growth and food security Due to demographic growth, there will be some 520 million persons to feed in the region by 2020 (CIHEAM, 2015). Mediterranean agriculture is globally less and less able to provide sufficient food for its population. • Water scarcity and overexploitation of natural resources Mediterranean water resources are limited and often of low quality, fragile and unevenly distributed in space and time. Under the arid and semi-arid conditions of the Mediterranean basin, the various forms of land degradation, particularly erosion and salinization, are sharply felt.
Common Mediterranean Challenges Sustainable agriculture Agriculture is a major economic sector in terms of its capacity to generate employment and income for a large fraction of the Mediterranean population. In most southern Mediterranean countries, it is providing employment for 20 to 30% of the population
Common Mediterranean Challenges Agro-biodiversity loss Mediterranean region is a hotspot for biodiversity. However the genetic diversification of food crops and animal breeds (agrobiodiversity) is declining. Many local varieties are being replaced by a small number of improved non-native varieties. Climate change is expected to speed the loss of agrobiodiversity as certain areas become unsuitable for less tolerant varieties.
Common Mediterranean Challenges Mediterranean agro-food value chains Suffer from inappropriate logistic infrastructure, and a lack of safety. Low rates of innovation and management, and poor marketing and communication skills make difficult for businesses (especially SMEs) to compete on the markets with imported products. Changes in consumers behaviours and urbanization have led to a change in food diets and lifestyles. This has led to growing chronic related diseases.

SECTION 2/Thematic area 1 Topic 1.1.1: Water resources availability and quality within catchments and aquifers. Topic 1.1.2: Sustainable, integrated water management. Topic 1.1.3: Irrigation technologies and practices. Topic 1.1.1: Water resources availability and quality within catchments and aquifers The challenges now faced by water planners require a new generation of water management models that addresses the broad impacts of global changes on hydrological and hydraulic balance at catchment and aquifer level. In the Mediterranean region, main sources of water for irrigation and drinking purposes are groundwater and artificial reservoirs created by dams and dikes. Innovative options and technologies are required to ensure availability of groundwater resources for future generations and in particular to deal with storage and depletion trajectory management, groundwater-dependent ecosystems, seawater intrusion and salinization, anthropogenic and geogenic contamination of the whole water cycle, and long-term sustainability. On the other hand, surface water bodies in the Mediterranean regions are characterized by intermittent streams. The lack of surface water during long periods of time constitutes a challenge to characterize their hydrological regime and the geomorphological and ecological status. Topic 1.1.2: Sustainable, integrated water management Water sustainability in the Mediterranean region should be ensured by improved technical tools coupled with socio- economic studies able to improve the efficiency of water and energy use in certain key regions under present and future global change scenarios. In this sense, recognizing the water-energy-food synergies and balancing the potential trade-offs between water and energy use efficiency is required. Topic 1.1.3: Irrigation technologies and practices In the Mediterranean basin, agriculture is by far the main user of water resources, and irrigation is a crucial field practice influencing crop productivity and product quality. In addition, irrigation is a major driver for solutes transport in arid and semi-arid environments, having an important role in the possible negative impacts of improper water management on soil salinization and aquifers pollution. Therefore, the challenge is to improve irrigation water productivity while minimizing the potential environmental risks associated with irrigation.
SECTION 2/Thematic area 2 Topic 1.2.1: Adaptation of agriculture to climate change. Topic 1.2.2: Preventing emergence of animal and plant diseases. Topic 1.2.3: Developing farming systems able to generate income, to create employment and to contribute to a balanced territorial development. Topic 1.2.1: Adaptation of agriculture to climate change Climate change is dramatically impacting the Mediterranean area and solutions need to be found to adapt agricultural practices to rising temperatures, drought and soil salinity, and increasing occurrence of extreme events. Agriculture is indeed already limited by climate change all around the Mediterranean and this situation is predicted to worsen in the near future, with the northern part of the region experiencing similar conditions to those existing today on the southern shores. Adapting to climate change is therefore a common necessity for Mediterranean agriculture. Topic 1.2.2: Preventing and controlling emergence of animal and plant diseases The Mediterranean Region is a hotspot for biodiversity but it is also a rich and well-known center of origin and dispersion for virulent plant and animal pests and diseases. Diseases are increasing under the influence of climate change and of the intensification of trade flows in the Mediterranean. Plant and animal diseases and pests cause significant decreases in yield, quality and safety of Mediterranean crops, in particular fruit, cereal and vegetables and of animal productions, with strong economic and social consequences. When a new disease breaks out, it is already generally too late to find solutions. Scientific knowledge has to be obtained in order to understand outbreaks phenomena and to develop preventive solutions as well as Integrated Pest Management solutions. Topic 1.2.3: Developing farming systems able to generate income, to create employment and to contribute to a balanced territorial development Agriculture is a major economic sector in Mediterranean countries and the growth of rural employment is critical for fighting rural poverty and stabilize population in the territories. Research and innovation is needed to enhance the potential benefits of agriculture in terms of employment and poverty alleviation, through the development of labour- intensive and environmentally-friendly agriculture and the design of sustainable and profitable farming systems for small- scale agriculture. Potential synergies among activities of the various actors along the food chains and of the economic sectors in rural areas and rural/urban synergies should be enhanced, and addressed at different levels (farms, region, territories…).
SECTION 2/Thematic area 3 Topic 1.3.1: Valorising food products from traditional Mediterranean diet. Topic 1.3.2: Food Safety in local food chains. Topic 1.3.3: Implications of dietary shifts and sustainable diets for the Mediterranean populations and food industry. Topic 1.3.1: Valorising food products from traditional Mediterranean diet. Mediterranean areas are characterised by traditional diets connected to local traditional products. However, changes in life-styles and scarce affordability of nutrient-dense food products have led to a change in the dietary patterns and a massive emergence of diet- and lifestyle- related chronic diseases. Research is needed to develop new products and processes to increase the quality of Mediterranean foods by combining improvement of raw material composition with better use of innovative and soft production and processing technologies. The result will be better nutritional quality of food products, stable nutrient-dense ingredients, and new products, A consolidated knowledge on the real value of Mediterranean foods, well characterized in the content and bio-accessibility of known healthy nutrients and bioactive compounds, is required. Composition and structure of food products should reflect the appliance of traditional recipes, linked to the cultural inheritance, on local ingredients, to re-establish the value of the Mediterranean diet => dynamic quality descriptors, protection Mediterranean food products , geo-referencing, certification methods. Topic 1.3.2: Food Safety in local food chains. Food safety problems are recurrent in Mediterranean Agri-food value chains, due to various factors including climate and demographic changes, global trade, and new determinants for consumers’ choices. In addition, the informal setting with which the most of the Mediterranean agri-food firms operates does not favour the adoption of integrated solutions suitable for a rapid crisis handling, with reference both to upstream suppliers, who struggle to assess quality of raw materials, and downstream suppliers, who have to face serious problems in complying with more and more stringent standards of quality, traceability and product homogeneity, while achieving regular food supplies, as required by the customers. Food safety is today closely linked to innovation and sustainability in production systems, and investing in safety means reducing the risks of a sudden loss of trust (in the brand or supply chain as a whole) for accidental events => to guarantee food safety in the Mediterranean environment while preserving the cultural heritage, along the entire food chain. => to improve quality and quality-control mechanisms including development of quality labels (Geographical indications and referencing) Topic 1.3.3: Implications of dietary shifts and sustainable diets for the Mediterranean populations and food industry. While the traditional Mediterranean diet is considered particularly healthy, the Mediterranean is paradoxically one of the areas of the world where overweight and obesity are most prevalent—a clear sign of dietary shifts in progress and malnutrition: excess consumption of carbohydrates, sugars, saturated fat and salt, lower consumption of fruits, vegetables and fibers. The emergence of diet- and lifestyle-related chronic diseases (heart disease, cancer, chronic respiratory disease and diabetes) is massive in the Southern and Eastern Mediterranean. These diseases have become the leading cause of death both in the North and in the South. Strategies and policies to prevent diet-related diseases are still weak. The prevention of chronic diseases should be supported by scientific evidences demonstrating the relationship between diet and health in the Mediterranean context to convince the citizens about the validity of adopting a well-defined Mediterranean diet. => assessment of eating habits, genetic traits of the Mediterranean populations, public policies design, etc.
