Vision

Inclusive, healthy and prosperous Mediterranean societies through innovative solutions in agro-food and water systems,

contributing, by the end of the programme, to sustainable use of natural resources,

economic growth and stability.

Mission

To achieve, support and promote integration, alignment and joint implementation of R&I initiatives under a common research and innovation strategy

to address the diverse challenges in water scarcity, agriculture, food security.

PRIMA Main Features • Equal footing;

• Long-term commitment and orientation;

• Avoiding fragmentation and duplications in R&I;

• Focused on Research, Innovation and Adoption of solutions;

• Definition of a common and MED-wide Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda;

• Institutional relationships with MED stakeholders (end users, communities, enterprises, governments)

An article 185 initiative as the most suitable instrument to tackle global challenges of the Med region in an integrated way

Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda Draft - August 10th 2017

Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda SRIA This was being prepared by the 4PRIMA CSA task force composed by Representatives of the: • Tunisian Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific

Research • Spanish Ministry of Economy, Industry and

Competitiveness • French Research National Agency • Moroccan Ministry of Higher Education, Scientific

Research and Professional Training • Italian Ministry of Education. Direction of Technology

and of the, University and Research

The SRIA also takes in consideration contributions provided through: • Public web consultation • Stakeholder fora (Egypt) organised in the frame of the 4PRIMA

project • All the members of the PRIMA General Assembly

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.


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

Agro-biodiversity loss 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.


Mediterranean agro-food value chains Suffer from inappropriate logistic infrastructure, and a lack of safety, quality and traceability standards. Low rates of innovation and management, and poor marketing and communication skills make difficult for businesses (especially SMEs) to meet consumer requirements. Improved food processing, including innovative packaging, could make local products more competitive and create new trade opportunities.
