(EIT Food-KIC) Assessing digital and cultural potential of Food Hubs towards sustainable local food systems.

This project aims to study and test the importance of designing sustaining and managing landscape and social infrastructure to make food circular sustainability more shared and practicable. The shortening of the supply chain could be a solution to improve the economic, social and environmental sustainability of the food supply chain. To promote these changes, it is necessary to work with a multiscale and multilevel approach. The project aims to explore agroecological landscapes as places for social innovation, care and transformation in support of sustainable local food policies in RIS countries (Italy, Spain, Portugal).

The project explores the role of food as an element of reconnection between farmers, citizens and “eaters” (i.e. citizens more aware of sustainable food issues) through the promotion of Community-Supported Agriculture models as sustainable examples of production, distribution, and consumption of food as well as care and enhancement of the landscape.

(MASAF) Obiettivi generali del progetto sono l'aggiornamento delle banche dati isotopiche ufficiali di vino/mosto ed olio d'oliva e lo sviluppo di nuovi metodi per il controllo dell'autenticità dei prodotti agroalimentari.

Attività FEM:

• analisi isotopiche secondo metodi ufficiali,
• supporto tecnico-scientifico a ICQRF-MIPAAF,
• sviluppo nuovi metodi analitici per la tracciabilità dei prodotti della filiera agro-alimentare.

(PRIMA FOUNDATION) Mediterranean diet (MD) has long been considered a landmark in healthy nutrition, but changing eating habits has meant that people have become less adherent to it. The younger population lost the connection with traditional foods while older people experience life changes that result in significant swaps in their diet.
Despite this, both groups could benefit from a diet rich in antioxidants that has been shown to help prevent disease over the long term. 

PROMEDLIFE aims to reverse, through a multi-actor approach, the decline in adherence to the MD pattern, adopting four lines of intervention.
