The Sustainability of Agro-Food and Natural Resource Systems in the Mediterranean Basin

---

This book focuses on the challenges to implement sustainability in diverse contexts
such as agribusiness, natural resource systems and new technologies. The project
arose from the editor’s experience during the International Edamus M.Sc. course on
“economics of quality for sustainable development”—the School of Agricultural,
Forestry, Food and Environmental Science (SAFE), University of Basilicata, is a
partner of the Edamus Mundus Programme. The exchange of ideas and the experience
with students from all continents led to the idea to gather in one volume the
experiences of researchers at the SAFE of the University of Basilicata in Southern
Italy.
Basilicata’s production system is mainly based on the agricultural sector and
exploitation of natural resources. However, in recent years, it has witnessed industrial
development driven by the discovery of oilfields. SAFE research took up the
challenge posed by market competition to create value through the sustainable use
of the region’s renewable and non-renewable resources. Moreover, due to its unique
geographical position in the middle of the Mediterranean basin, Basilicata is an
excellent field laboratory for testing sustainable solutions adaptable to other Mediterranean
areas.
The book offers a broad, multidisciplinary approach to identifying and testing
different solutions tailored to the economic, social and environmental characteristics
of the region and the surrounding areas. The volume is a collection of multidisciplinary
case studies involving SAFE researchers and their scientific partners. It is
intended as a stimulating contribution to the debate on the development of sustainable
techniques, methods and applications for the Mediterranean regions. Last, but
not least, a global event like Expo 2015 represents a unique opportunity to present
the volume.
