The Union for the Mediterranean (UfM) has joined CIHEAM and CMI Marseille in launching the 41st edition of the CIHEAM Watch Letter, to give a voice to young researchers, entrepreneurs, and activists who have ideas for more sustainable and inclusive food systems in the Mediterranean region. Contributors up to 35 years of age from across the Mediterranean are invited to submit content on three main themes: Education and Training; Entrepreneurship and Innovations; and Representation and Participation. The deadline for the expression of interest is 04 May.

CIHEAM Watch Letters aim to feed debate on issues related to agriculture, food and rural areas in the Mediterranean region, targeting a broad audience including media, civil society, the private sector, public authorities, students and researchers, to contribute to a better understanding of these societal issues that concern us all.

This issue focuses on the role of youth in the development of new paradigms and creative approaches to food systems in the region.

Selected submissions will be published in the Watch Letter, expected to come out in Autumn 2021.
