Crops that thrive in dry summers and mild, wet winters define this farming approach. Mediterranean agriculture focuses on growing crops suited to a Mediterranean climate, such as olives and grapes. In regions with this climate—southern Europe, parts of California, central Chile, and parts of Australia—farmers select perennial, drought-tolerant crops that yield high-value fruits and oils, matching the seasonal rainfall patterns. Techniques often emphasize water management, drought-adapted varieties, and systems like orchards and vineyards that fit the climate, sometimes with limited irrigation. The other concepts describe broader ideas rather than a climate-muited farming system: climate regions are geographic classifications, subsistence agriculture aims to feed the farmer’s household, and commercial agriculture centers on production for sale.
