 Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)

'The overall objective of the SUSTAINMED project is to examine and assess the impacts of EU and national agricultural, rural, environmental and trade policies in the Mediterranean Partner Countries (MPCs). Specific impacts include socio-economic structural changes, income distribution, resource management, trade liberalisation, poverty alleviation, employment and migrations trends, as well as commercial relations with major trade partners (in particular the EU) and competitiveness in international markets. The project will integrate a wide range of complementary methods and analytical tools including quantitative modelling, structured surveying, indicator building and qualitative data analysis, in order to provide (i) orders of magnitude of the impact in MPCs related to changes in important policy parameters, and (ii) qualitative insights into processes which will be important for the future welfare of MPCs but which cannot be fully captured by quantitative indicators. The project results will enable the EU Commission and relevant stakeholders to formulate realistic policies and action plans aimed at supporting sustainable agri-food systems, rural development programmes and capacity building in the Mediterranean region. The project outcomes will also contribute to improve collaboration and economic and commercial relations between the EU and target MPCs, in line with the stated goals of the Barcelona Process: Union for the Mediterranean. Furthermore, the project will provide relevant research to support the promotion of sustainable development to fulfilling the EU’s commitment towards the United Nation Millennium Development Goals in the region. The project consortium brings together during three years recognised researchers from six EU Member countries, one Associate country and five Mediterranean Partner countries, with a strong scientific background and experience in Mediterranean policy, market and institutional analysis.'

Introduzione (Teaser)

The Union for the Mediterranean is an alliance between the EU and several Mediterranean countries that aims to promote peace and prosperity in the region. Researchers have investigated the impact of both EU and local trade, sustainability and rural development policies.

Descrizione progetto (Article)

Since 1995, the EU and several Mediterranean Partner Countries (MPCs) have cooperated to shape trade policies. However, it has recently become clear that traditional trade liberalisation approaches have not been enough to provide sustainable economic development.

The EU-funded 'Sustainable agri-food systems and rural development in the Mediterranean Partner Countries' (http://sustainmed.iamm.fr/ (SUSTAINMED)) project investigated local and EU policies in the fields of agriculture, poverty prevention, sustainability, food security and trade.

Researchers focused on Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia, as well as Turkey, an important non-MPC.

Studies into poverty revealed that the situation has improved over the last two decades, but remains a persistent and significant problem in these countries. Researchers also found that poverty had a knock-on effect on all other sectors studied.

SUSTAINMED furthermore determined that policies were generally skewed to cater to economic sustainability concerns, while disregarding resource management, conservation efforts and social aspects.

In order to study the effects of trade liberalisation policy, researchers used the Global Value Chain Analysis approach. They concluded that efforts need to be focused on improving the value of goods rather than decreasing cost of production.

These and other findings were communicated through a series of workshops and seminars, and will be summarised and published in a book. SUSTAINMED will help both EU and MPC policymakers create relevant policies with regards to rural development and sustainability.
