Introduction

Established in 1962, the International Centre for Advanced Mediterranean Agronomic Studies (CIHEAM) is a Mediterranean intergovernmental organization composed of 13 Member States (Albania, Algeria, Egypt, France, Greece, Italy, Lebanon, Malta, Morocco, Portugal, Spain, Tunisia, and Turkey).

It operates through its 4 Institutes based in Bari (Italy), Chania (Greece), Montpellier (France), and Zaragoza (Spain), and the Headquarters based in Paris.

As a key player in multilateral cooperation in the fields of sustainable agriculture and fisheries, food systems, coastal and rural development, its missions revolve around four main objectives:

Protection of the planet by combating all forms of waste: waste of natural resources, food waste, and waste of knowledge and know-how

Food and nutrition security by boosting sustainable agriculture and food systems

Inclusive development by investing in new generations and fragile territories

Prevention of crises by managing tensions and working for the resilience of communities
