摘要

"Food security" is a multifaceted concept, lying at the crossroads of different fields. In the last few decades, it has come to the fore as a major source of concern for international, national and local policy-makers and scholars worldwide. In the wake of the Arab uprisings of 2010-11, food security has also gained further relevance in the context of Euro-Mediterranean relations (e.g., see IPEMED 2010, Hadj Nacer et al. 2013, Ayadi and Sessa 2013:4). In fact, as we shall see shortly, building sustainable agriculture for food security in the southern Mediterranean is (or rather, should be) a strategic top priority for domestic governments in the region as well as for the European Union. Before outlining the specific challenges which lie ahead withinthe framework of Euro-Mediterranean relations, however, it is timely to provide some preliminary conceptual clarifications. The objective of the first Section is to circumscribe the subject of the analysis by clarifying what it is meant here by "food security" and reviewing the main indicators used to assess micro and macro food security. The second Section explores the relationship between urbanization and food security. The third Section provides a snapshot of the current situation of urbanization and food security in the Southern Mediterranean region, with an eye to the main strategies implemented so far to cope with food insecurity at the urban level.
