Sustainable agrifood value chains and inclusive agribusiness in the Mediterranean, Tirana 2016

Agriculture is a key economic sector in the Mediterranean employing nearly a quarter of the region’s workforce and has shown substantial growth in recent years.
The Mediterranean faces a number of social and economic challenges. Youth unemployment is high and the region’s fast-growing population will likely reach 360 million by 2030, increasing the demand for food, jobs and energy. Water scarcity is another obstacle as is the increasing frequency of drought and other natural disasters caused by climate change.
