Options Méditerranéennes is a collection of scientific papers intended to aid the development of Mediterranean Agriculture. It has been edited and published by CIHEAM since 1970.

The collection reflects and highlights the work done by CIHEAM’s four agronomic institutes in the fields of scientific research and cooperation and brings together lecturers-researchers and experts in the fields from both shores of the Mediterranean.

Options Méditerranéennes was originally a two-monthly Review and developed into a set of collective works arranged in several series: Studies, Mediterranean Seminars, Studies and Research and Cahiers Options Méditerranéennes.

Since 2008, the issues have been arranged in two series:

Series A – Mediterranean Seminars
Series B – Studies and Research

1. The serie A contains the proceedings of all seminars and meetings organised by CIHEAM at which guest speakers have presented written contributions.

2.The serie B contains all studies produced in the context of the MAI's activities by CIHEAM's lecturers and researchers, either working on their own or in cooperation with outside researchers.
CIHEAM's series address subjects related to its particular fields of activity, the most important of which are agriculture, food and sustainable rural development.

Once they have been approved by the scientific committee, these collections are published under the authority of the scientific editors and under the responsibility of the director of publication, the Secretary General of CIHEAM.
