Aims and Scopes

The journal 'New Medit' focuses on the intersection of agriculture, food systems, and sustainability within the Mediterranean context. It aims to provide a platform for research that addresses the unique challenges and opportunities faced by Mediterranean countries regarding their agricultural and food policies, environmental sustainability, and socio-economic development.
  1. Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems:
    Research focusing on sustainable practices in agriculture, including organic farming, conservation agriculture, and the integration of local knowledge to enhance productivity and sustainability.
  2. Policy Analysis and Development:
    Exploration of agricultural policies, food security strategies, and the impact of governance on food systems across Mediterranean countries.
  3. Economic Dynamics in Agri-food Systems:
    Studies examining the economic aspects of agriculture and food supply chains, including market dynamics, value chain analysis, and the role of small-scale farmers.
  4. Environmental Impact and Resource Management:
    Research on the ecological consequences of agricultural practices, including water management, climate change adaptation, and biodiversity conservation.
  5. Consumer Behavior and Preferences:
    Analysis of consumer attitudes towards food products, including sustainability perceptions, preferences for local and organic products, and the influence of labeling.
  6. Technological Innovations in Agriculture:
    Investigations into the adoption and impact of new technologies and practices in agriculture, including precision farming, digitalization, and innovative irrigation methods.
Recent publications in 'New Medit' indicate a dynamic shift towards emerging themes that address contemporary challenges in the Mediterranean agricultural landscape. These themes reflect the journal's responsiveness to evolving issues in sustainability, policy, and technology.
  1. Sustainable Supply Chains and Food Security:
    There is a growing emphasis on how sustainable supply chain practices can enhance food security, particularly in the context of small-scale farming and local production systems.
  2. Impact of Climate Change on Agriculture:
    Research increasingly focuses on specific adaptive strategies for agriculture in response to climate change, highlighting localized impacts and resilience-building measures.
  3. Consumer Preferences for Sustainable Products:
    Emerging studies are analyzing consumer attitudes towards sustainability in food products, including preferences for organic and locally sourced options, reflecting a shift in market dynamics.
  4. Integration of Technology in Agriculture:
    A significant trend is the exploration of digital tools and innovative technologies aimed at improving agricultural productivity and sustainability, including precision agriculture and smart farming techniques.
  5. Circular Economy Approaches in Agrifood Systems:
    The journal is seeing an increase in studies that discuss the integration of circular economy principles within agricultural practices, promoting waste reduction and resource efficiency.

Declining or Waning

While 'New Medit' continues to address a wide range of themes, certain areas appear to be losing prominence in recent publications. This reflects a shift in focus towards more pressing contemporary issues within the Mediterranean agricultural landscape.
  1. Traditional Agricultural Practices:
    Research related to traditional farming methods and their sustainability is becoming less frequent, potentially overshadowed by the need for innovative and technology-driven approaches.
  2. Generalized Climate Change Studies:
    While climate change remains a crucial topic, the specificity of studies addressing generalized impacts without focusing on adaptive strategies or localized solutions is declining.
  3. Diverse Crop Studies:
    Research focusing broadly on various crops without a specific emphasis on sustainability or innovation seems to be waning, as the journal shifts towards more targeted studies with direct implications for policy and practice.
  4. Broad Economic Analyses:
    General economic analyses that do not directly link to agricultural practices or food systems are less prevalent, as the emphasis moves towards integrative studies connecting economics with sustainability.
