Breaking silos for Mediterranean landscape resilience: lessons from ResAlliance

Resilience is more than a buzzword—it’s a shared responsibility. Explore the insights gained, the 120 good practices tackling natural disturbances, and the policy recommendations that will help to shape the future of Mediterranean farms and forests.

The ResAlliance project has come to an end after three years of work across the Mediterranean. It has been a journey that 16 partners have travelled together, and in some stretches it has not been easy. Now that the word “resilience” is in vogue, over these three years we have experienced what makes it so difficult to apply. Creating landscapes that are resilient to the disturbances influenced by climate change does not depend on a single person, association, company, ministry or government agency. Achieving resilient landscapes requires the collaboration and coordination of multiple entities at different levels.

Could traditional agropastoral systems be the key to a resilient future? 

Traditional farming systems have been developed over generations of experience. Rooted in time-tested knowledge, these systems may hold valuable solutions for modern challenges like climate change and biodiversity loss. 

From the Agdal system to the Mandra system, traditional practices offer insights for creating resilient agricultural landscapes. Developed over generations by local communities, these systems are not only integrated with their natural environments but also adaptable. This makes them a source of solutions to the increasingly pressing demands of climate change and other global pressures.
