Mediterranean agriculture

Mediterranean agriculture refers to farming practices suited for regions surrounding the Mediterranean Sea, characterized by hot, dry summers and mild, rainy winters. It focuses on crops like grapes, olives, citrus fruits, and various vegetables, adapted to conserve water and withstand drought conditions. Farmers often utilize terracing, irrigation, and crop rotation to optimize productivity and conserve soil. This agricultural style supports both local food production and the export of specialized products, playing a key role in the cultural and economic identity of Mediterranean countries.
