Abstract
As part of the SemiArid project funded by ERANET ArimNet2 (2017-2020), a group of
lecturer-researchers from different Mediterranean institutions wish to set up a short international
training course dedicated to the design of dryland farming systems. This training course follows
several doctoral programs initially organised within the SEAMLESS project (2005-2010), then as part
of the global FSD network (Farming System Design), which have trained more than a hundred
international doctoral students. Until now, these courses aimed to prepare young scientists for the
analysis and assessment of the sustainability of farming systems thanks to integrated approaches. The
« SEMIARID » training course will focus on farming system design in dry regions (climate variability) in
the context of climate change and food/nutritional security (referred to as « Climate-smart
agriculture »). In its applications it will emphasize the role of diversities (intra-field, intra-farm and
across-farms) in the efficiency and resilience of agricultural systems. It therefore falls within several
national and international priorities programme of most dryland countries: « Feeding » and
« Protecting »
