RATIONALE

"Worldwide, the Agriculture development is deemed as the most powerful tool to end poverty and to pr"ovide job opportunities. Research analysis conducted by the World Bank has found that about 65% of poor working adults in the rural areas derive their livelihoods from agriculture (2016) and that Agriculture is also crucial to economic growth: in 2014, it accounted for one-third of global gross-domestic product (GDP).

But, Agriculture is facing globally and especially in the Arab and African regions too many Constraint issues and challenges such as climate change, water crises and shortages with a heavy negative impact on food safety & security in the two regions in spite of efforts of many enablers to achieve the sustainable agricultural development.

It is clear that we cannot deal effectively with all these issues with the traditional and already available solutions. What is needed at this level is a serious review of the agricultural situation within the two regions and to find out new and sustainable ways for development.
