  abstract = {{R}ainfed {M}editerranean agriculture ({MA}) must adapt to water scarcity due to climate change and pressures on water resources. {A}ccording to recent literature, two adaptation solutions based on the concept of diversification can be explored. {T}he first solution is crop diversification at the field level. {T}hree main cropping systems, namely agroforestry, intercropping, and service crops, have been shown to increase soil water availability and to improve crop water use. {T}he second solution is to consider diversification at the landscape level by diversifying crops and associated agricultural management practices (in number, abundance, and spatial organization) and building small-scale water-harvesting infrastructures ({WHI}). {I}n order to move toward a sustainable {MA}, one of the main scientific challenges ahead is to provide knowledge and tools, such as integrated agro-hydrological models, useful to evaluate several spatiotemporal combinations of these solutions in order to optimize soil water availability and crop water use.},
