Description Policy brief with the following Key messages:
1. Intensification of production systems is needed to improve food security;
2. International trade should not be hampered;
3. Productivity growth in has occurred because of investments in the agricultural sector, particularly capital investments (e.g. intensive production systems, irrigation systems and the adoption of new production technologies);
4. Private investment is a key determinant in productivity growth;
5. Agricultural subsidies in favor of agricultural machinery or equipment can be introduced without negatively affecting the rural labor force;
6. Medium-size farms seem to be more efficient in adopting improved technologies, such as more efficient irrigation systems;
7. It is important to strength extension mechanisms in Tunisia.
