  abstract = {{M}editerranean countries are undergoing dietary and nutritional changes that affect their inhabitants' health, while facing massive environmental challenges. {T}he increasing demand of water in agriculture, the capacity to maintain local food production, and the growing dependence on food imports are interconnected issues that must be addressed to ensure food security and nutrition in the {M}editerranean region. {H}ere, we present the conceptual framework and methodologies developed by the {MEDINA}-{S}tudy {G}roup for rethinking food systems toward sustainable consumption and production modes. {B}ased on its multidisciplinary expertise, the {MEDINA}-{S}tudy {G}roup designed a "fork-to-farm" multi-scale approach, stemming from current dietary habits and examining how some options to nutritionally improve these habits might affect the food systems. {T}his approach was developed for research activities in the {S}outh of {F}rance and {T}unisia, two areas with very different diet-agriculture-environment nexus. {T}he conceptual framework is based on the analysis of elements of the food systems (from consumption to production) at different levels (individual, household, regional and national levels). {T}he methods include: (i) modeling options of dietary changes at different scales, in order to nutritionally optimize food consumption-production without increasing the environmental impact, (ii) translating the best-choice changes into possible policy actions, (iii) testing the acceptability and feasibility of these actions with several stakeholders, and (iv) producing guidelines for sustainable food choices and production. {T}he {MEDINA}-{S}tudy {G}roup identified additional issues that could be included in a future framework to help designing ambitious agricultural, food and health policies in the {M}editerranean region.},
