17 Organic Farming in the Mediterranean Region Lina Al-Bitar 1 17.1 Introduction Recently, agricultural practices are being re-evaluated due to the awareness for environmental degradation, human health, animal welfare and scarcity of fossil fuel, and organic agriculture is receiving special attention worldwide and is getting a bigger share on the market. Nevertheless, the force of attraction has been always centralized in the north despite the high production potential in the South. From time immemorial, the Mediterranean diet and traditional products have always been very appreciated and were introduced in different diets giving them a highly value added. This might probably be an opportunity to be explored for organic products that could become an important tool for the economic development of the region. Organic production could be competitive at the international market, at least in countries where these products cannot be found or where off-season products are requested. In fact, the conclusions of the first Euro-Mediterranean ministerial conference on agriculture that took place in Venice on the 26th of November 2003, identified the high quality of agricultural products and organic agriculture as the main factors of the economic development for the countries of this region (Lacirignola, 2004). As envisaged by the Barcelona Declaration of 28th November 1995 (European Commission, 1995), the Euro-Mediterranean shared prosperity will be reached by the year 2010, through the establishment of the “free trade” zone between the EU and the Partner countries 2 . In fact, the latter have known in the last years a radical change in their production and agricultural development system, like the market opening and the constant amelioration of relations between the public and private sectors. The Mediterranean basin has always been an agricultural center known for its widely diverse nature due to its microclimates. In fact, the Mediterranean region is made of different heterogeneous realities, not only between the north and the south but also within the Southern shore itself. This region has a great variation in agro-ecosystems, economies, politics, cultures and languages, but the common denominator is the Mediterranean Sea. Some of the countries are not even touched by the sea but are conventionally called Mediterranean countries. The 1 Dr. Lina Al Bitar, Mediterranean Agronomic Institute of Bari (CIHEAM-IAMB), Via Ceglie, 9, IT-70010 Valenzano (BA), Italy, Internet www.iamb,it 2 The Mediterranean countries Algeria, Cyprus, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, the Palestinian Authority, Syria, Tunisia and Turkey have entered a Euro-Mediterranean partnership with the European Union.
