Relevance of the project to the specific call: The ongoing process of globalwarming is causing dramatic changes in environmental conditions worldwide.Predictions show that many regions will become more arid, which will impact onlocal crop cultivation. In many Mediterranean Countries grapevine is one of the mosteconomically and culturally important crop. As a woody perennial plant, grapevine...

 Drought and heat are major abiotic stresses that reduce crop productivity and jeopardize food security in the Mediterranean in the context of the growing impacts of Climate Change (CC). Agroforestry (AF) practices contribute to enhance resilience through Biodiversity (BD) conservation and livelihood diversity, by also bringing economic benefits. Mixed Farming (MF) can reduce chemical inputs...

Land degradation and desertification (LDD) in the Mediterranean (MED) is becoming increasingly pronounced due to climate change and increasing pressures on agricultural and forest land. This has negative implications for the provision of ecosystem services, climate change mitigation, food security and the social, economic and political domains. The confluence of climatological, agronomic, social and economic...
