Crises and Conflict in the Mediterranean:

Agriculture as Resilience

Under the direction of the late Cosimo Lacirignola*

Wars, political instabilities, climate change, migration, population growth, and scarcity of natural resources: the Mediterranean is an intersection of major crises. These crises have a significant impact on food security and agriculture that are of major concern for a large part of the population. Nevertheless, agriculture can also provide means to meet these challenges. 

Under the direction of the late Cosimo Lacirignola, this collective work, provides a collection of studies, detailed accounts, and analyses written by authors with different backgrounds, on contemporary and historical topics that are related to the Mediterranean region.
