The Mediterranean diet intangible cultural heritage of humanity.<\/p>\n<\/div>

In 2010 the Mediterranean diet was proclaimed by Unesco as an intangible cultural heritage of humanity and with it also its cornerstone: extra virgin olive oil.<\/p>\n<\/div>

On November 16, 2010 in Nairobi, Kenya, the Intergovernmental Committee of the Unesco Convention on Intangible Cultural Heritage approved the registration of the Mediterranean Diet in the List of Intangible Cultural Heritage, recognizing with this definition the traditional practices, knowledge and skills that have passed down from generation in generation in many Mediterranean countries providing communities with a sense of belonging and continuity.
\nThe 2010 recognition welcomed the transnational candidacy of Italy, Spain, Greece and Morocco, which in 2013 was also extended to Cyprus, Croatia and Portugal.<\/p>\n

The Mediterranean Diet is more than just a food list or nutrition table. It is a lifestyle that includes a series of skills, knowledge, rituals, symbols and traditions concerning cultivation, harvesting, fishing, breeding, conservation, cooking and above all the sharing and consumption of food. Eating together is the basis of the cultural identity and continuity of communities in the Mediterranean basin, where the values \u200b\u200bof hospitality, neighborhood, intercultural dialogue and creativity are combined with respect for the territory and biodiversity. In this sense, the cultural heritage of the Mediterranean diet plays a vital role in rituals, festivals, celebrations, cultural events, bringing together people of all ages and social classes. It is a community life that also enhances local crafts and vocations, such as the production of containers for the conservation and consumption of food, the artistic manufacture of ceramic and glass plates and glasses, the art of embroidery and weaving.
\nIn perfect balance between humanistic and scientific culture, the Mediterranean Diet has contributed to the construction of an identity that has now gone far beyond territorial or food borders. It has become a model to concretely face the next few years, responding to the challenges that the sustainable development goals of the UN Agenda 2030 and the new European Farm to Fork strategy for the reduction of the environmental impacts of agri-food present us.
\nIn addition, it is recognized by many as a real system for building a truly “informed” future, starting from the local to act on a global scale, always having education and the new generations as a cornerstone.<\/p>\n

The great social and climatic changes taking place represent a great challenge for the Mediterranean and the interdependence between food and the climate crisis must pass through inclusive and extensive participation, in which sustainable eating habits are accessible and understood by all.<\/p>\n

Over the years, the importance of the Mediterranean Diet is also evidenced by the support it receives not only from UNESCO, but also from FAO and WHO, as a tool for sustainable agriculture and an indispensable element for a diet that helps prevent cardio-cerebrovascular diseases.<\/p>\n

In this sense, the Mediterranean Diet is a philosophy of life that comes from the past and can lead us towards a healthy, sustainable and inclusive future.<\/p>\n
