Inter-shore exchanges: cooperating to meet Mediterranean agricultural and food challenges
In 2024, the FARM Foundation and its partners* launched the project AACC-Med (Adaptation of agriculture to climate change in the Mediterranean), a tool for dialogue and cooperation between Mediterranean agricultural stakeholders to share solutions and jointly formulate recommendations on adaptation.
After a first year marked by the publication of the white paper "The urgency of adaptation» and the organization of unifying events, phase 2 of the project is underway:
Inter-shore exchanges
3 meetings between farmers in 3 different countries: Morocco, France, Egypt
In 2025, the project AACC-Med organizes exchanges between farmers from Morocco, France and Egypt, with the support of local partners such as:
Fert, Fert Morocco, the Moroccan Association of Conservation Agriculture (AMAC), the National School of Agriculture of Meknes (ENAM), the National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and the Environment (INRAE), AgriBioVar and the Egyptian Association for Sustainable Development (EASD)
This part of the cross-shore exchanges and participation in these meetings are not open to the public. They are reserved for selected farmers and their local counterparts, but can be followed on our social networks. Cross-shore exchanges are only open to the public during the multi-stakeholder conferences organized at the end of each meeting (see below).
Inter-bank exchanges are:
Farm visits
to share adaptation practices already in operation: crop change, diversification, soil conservation, agroecology, agroforestry, etc.
Participatory workshops

Co-construction of a strategy Mediterranean adaptation agricultural (capitalization, pooling, reproducibility) with all stakeholders in agricultural and food systems
