It provides an in-depth analysis of the major challenges in the fields of agriculture, food and rural areas in the Mediterranean. These themes are in line with the CIHEAM Action Plan for the Mediterranean (CAPMED).
Since its modernisation in 2007 and the partnership with a renowned publishing house (Presse de Sciences Po, Paris), Mediterra has managed to involve more than 200 experts with a hundred featured articles in the framework of six reports published during the period. Some editions have even been translated into Arabic, Spanish and Italian. The publication is referenced and is also freely available on the Cairn online publication platform and the Mir@bel network.
