PAS-AGRO-PAS (PRIMA): PAS-AGRO-PAS project titled “The Making of Fragile Agro-ecosystems Productive, Adaptive and Sustainable: Multifunctional Agro-pastoralism” aims to increase productivity, adaptiveness, sustainability and profitability of agro-pastoral systems in 8 Mediterranean countries, through a systemic approach leveraged on the multifunctionality of resilient agro-pastoralism. The systemic approach consists of a farm-to-global scale integrated evaluation interlinking agro-ecosystem, socioeconomic components and information system to identify and overcome the stressors affecting agro-pastoralists’ viability, with views to implementing strategies that redirect agro-pastoralism from fragile, subsistence-oriented systems towards resilient, climate-change adaptive, more commercially-oriented systems. Within the project, a network of 10 agro-pastoral systems – located into the Mediterranean and Atlantic biogeographical regions of Europe and in the arid and semi-arid regions of Northern Africa, will be subject of investigation for characterisation and diagnostics, design and implementation of tailored strategies, data analysis, and multi-actor knowledge exchange (i.e., agro-pastoralists, decision-makers and researchers).
