A project is based on the values of heritage "Mediterranean Diet" as a way of life but represents a real model of healthy and sustainable territorial development, which aims to create awareness in young people and in the sector, emphasising the many actors in the scientific, institutional and private world who have been working for years to protect and enhance it, embracing every aspect of the cultural dimension, historical and artistic value of the supply chains that through virtuous agricultural practices and the protection of biodiversity
The event "FUTURO MEDITERRANEO" will be a first opportunity for discussion and presentation of the many initiatives that thanks to the project partners will be proposed to schools and children of Cilento for the year 2023.
