Towards Multifunctional Agro-Silvo-Pastoral Living Landscape in the Mediterranean Medjerda Valley – Tunisia

Abstract

This presentation provides a concise overview of the Multifunctional Agro‑Silvo‑Pastoral Living Landscape in the Mediterranean Medjerda Valley, Tunisia. It highlights the landscape’s significance as a highly representative case of Mediterranean dryland systems, covering highland–lowland–dryland transitions and their associated ecological and socio‑economic functions. The presentation was delivered during the MFL Technical Coordination meeting in Leuven, Belgium from December 16 to 18, 2025. It outlines the main problems in this Tunisian landscape—such as land degradation, resource competition, and climate‑induced pressures and presents integrated solution pathways. Finally, it identifies key partnerships and expected 2030 outcomes, including more resilient ecosystems, enhanced livelihoods, and a scalable model for Mediterranean landscapes.
