The Mediterranean Farmers Committee

Mediterranean food products are increasingly recognized benefiting health. Farmers in both the north and the south of the Mediterranean Basin have accordingly decided to group together within IFAP to develop the benefits of their products. Based on the observation that there is a lack of consideration for the needs of the Mediterranean region in international development policies, farm leaders from both sides of the Basin, have pleaded the urgency of creating a Mediterranean structure within IFAP. Created in 1990, the Committee advocates peace and stability in the region and the strengthening of regional integration between the countries of Southern Europe, North Africa and Middle East. The Committee particularly supports an integrated approach to Mediterranean agriculture aimed at sustainable development and the establishment of a coherent policy.
