It aims at fostering debate on, and inclusion of, social-ecological system approaches within higher education in the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region.
Through its project activities, the AURORA project strives to contribute to sustainable development of agri-environmental systems and, ultimately, to food security and resource-efficient and environmentally sound agricultural production in the MENA region.
