It is important to remember that there is a synergy between the Tunisian and the Italian territory, as the climatic conditions of the northern region of Tunisia are very similar to those of the Sicilian Region. This territorial proximity and the environmental affinity of the cross-border area will allow a complementary work to be carried out on both shores of the Mediterranean to promote the sheep meat supply chain in the two areas concerned in the face of increasingly serious climate changes.

The Italian partners actively act in a territory, Sicily, which, at the moment, does not have any quality mark or label for sheep meat and will benefit from the experience that will be acquired in this project in the field of animal products certification. The Tunisian know-how could be interesting for the Italian territory involved in the project, specifically, the provinces of Catania, Ragusa and Syracuse, as it represents an applicable model for a future enhancement of its productions. Furthermore, the Sicilian territory has environmental and climatic characteristics very similar to the Tunisian ones, therefore a comparable impact of current and future climate changes on sheep production systems.
