This book of abstracts contains all the presented papers at the XIV FONCIMED Seminar, during 9-11 October 2024, held in the Universidad Internacional de Andalucía, Baeza, Spain. Organized by: FONCIMED International Research Network. In association with: Grupo de Investigación PAYTEMAL (Paisaje y Territorio en España, Europa Mediterránea y América Latina); Universidad de Santiago de Compostela – USC; Universidad Autónoma de Madrid – UAM; Universidad Internacional de Andalucía – UNIA; INRAE.
The XIV FONCIMED Seminar is designed as a scientific and expert forum to promote reflection on the sustainability of land tenure systems in Mediterranean agriculture. It gave the opportunity to share research work and experiences on the impacts and adaptation strategies of Mediterranean farming systems in the face of climate change, based on their plurality and their agro-ecological, socio-economic and cultural diversity. Particular emphasis was placed on the local knowledge and practices and collective resources used by farmers to adapt and sometimes mitigate the effects of the climate crisis. In terms of adaptation strategies, innovative approaches based on agricultural resilience and crop diversification, and the sustainable management of natural and land resources are of particular interest (water, soil and land, landscapes, but also agro-biodiversity, the conservation of agri-food heritage, and social innovation in terms of local food provisioning, etc.). Work is also expected on policies for adapting Mediterranean agrosystems at the various levels of intervention in Mediterranean territories, from European to regional or local.
