Abstract

Food crisis and hunger issues will challenge many countries due to the effects of climate change and global warming. When considering the truth that the Mediterranean Basin is the region that has been challenged by climate change and invasive alien species much more than others in the world, food insecurity is the most critical issue. As achieving food security, Mediterranean countries should keep the balance between the population and food sources in the related region. Accordingly, determining indicators and variables guiding policy makers to develop sustainable strategies for food security will be important cases for researchers. This study aims to review the sustainability level of the agricultural food market among Mediterranean countries. It is thought to give a holistic view for agricultural food markets in the Mediterranean Basin. This study focuses on examining some selected indicators for agricultural food markets among Mediterranean countries by showing recent descriptive statistics for agricultural products as crops and cereals. © 2022, IGI Global.
