PRIMA – Partnership for Research and Innovation in the Mediterranean Area

Environmental and social changes are deeply affecting Euro-Mediterranean agro-food systems and water resources.

Climate change, unsustainable agricultural practices, over-exploitation of natural resources, new lifestyle behaviours (diet, physical activity and socio-cultural) and low profitability of smallholders put a strain on the sustainable and healthy development of the Region, with major impacts on our societies

The increased complexity and multidimensionality of such social, economic and environmental challenges can only be tackled through common efforts and resources with a research and innovation approach.
