The Mediterranean Diet is a useful "tool-kit" for the aims of the IY2017 - International Year of Sustainable Tourism for Development. An ancient tradition, and a UNESCO's ICH - Intangible Cultural Heritage - the Mediterranean Diet is a life-style, and a "straight way" to pursue and foster the GLOBAL GOALS of the Agenda 2030 for the Sustainable Development. Strictly connected with the themes of health, education, and exploration, the Mediterranean Diet's principles and good practices leads tourism towards the enviroment's safeguard and the communities' welfare, conducting tourists in making cultural and social experiences, wellness and sport activities. This 24 ILLUSTRADED SLIDES PAPER with interactive links to the informations' sources has been designed as teaching materials for conferences and seminars held by the authors.
When considering ‘Mediterranean Diet’ (MD) under a marketing point of view, one may note as the purchase of ‘good-for-health food’ can present an not so easy decision for many consumers to take considering: (a) the proliferation of food brands in global market; (b) the phenomenon of typical e.g. Italian food imitation; (c) abundance of low-cost foods on the market; (d) lack of food knowledge in many young people indicate; etc. Under a bio-medical viewpoint, several studies have produced an increasing amount of data and new bio-medical knowledge on relations between human health and consumption of Mediterranean (low-fat) foods. This second phenomenon has the potentiality to become a source of ‘defensible competitive advantage for farms, food processors, areas of production and for tourism destinations in Croatia, Italy and in other Mediterranean countries. To demonstrate that moderate consumption of e.g. olive oil has positive effects on human health is fundamental in order to have the possibility to exploit (market) olive oil as a health device. This presentation aims to give a first (and partial) answer to the following question: Is it sufficient to demonstrate, in order to increase the market visibility for an olive oil producer, to increase competitive advantage for a specific district of olive production or defend competitive advantage of a specific food-based tourism destination? In order to reduce the risk that increasing amounts of data on therapeutic tools storage in large databases produce poor results on competitive advantage of firms and increase the possibility of defending competitive advantage of Mediterranean-based food districts, the following relation has been proposed. Its focus is competitive survival and defensibility of competitive advantage of farms and food processors in a specific portion of the Mediterranean Food Arena. It aims to portrait a knowledge-based marketing approach, to simplify consumers good food and beverage choices and increase the impact of low-fat diet and / or Mediterranean Diet Food and Beverage producers. In a knowledge-based society, knowledge about products sold is considered as a vital element for food marketing. This presentation explores marketing of knowledge on low-fat ‘Mediterranean Diet’ (MD) as a first resource to be considered as market food and beverages within the Mediterranean areas of production in an even more productive and pro-efficient way.

Abstract This paper deals with the Mediterranean Diet as a potential tool for increasing knowledge and promoting a sustainable development especially in least developed and developing regions. The confirmation of the MD as an Intangible Heritage of Humanity, recognized by UNESCO in 2010, is producing a significant social effect in the seven nations and communities involved. In addition in 2012 the MD has been included by the FAO at the top of the list of the most sustainable diets in the planet. The double recognition of this life style is generating a new approach to this cultural heritage by the stakeholders who are progressively recognizing that it may become a new tool to develop green economy and eco-tourism. To this end the author analyses the real and mythological genealogy of the MD in order to bring out its cultural, economic and social potentiality.
In una prospettiva di sostenibilità tesa al raggiungimento dell’equilibrio tra paesaggio naturale, socio-culturale, produttivo ed economico e sistema insediativo, le conoscenze tradizionali possono costituire un vocabolario di riferimento preziosissimo a cui attingere, perché storicamente consolidate, culturalmente accettate, ecologiche ed economiche. Oggi si fa fatica a credere che ritornare ad una più tradizionale gestione del territorio possa essere una delle condizioni auspicabili per il futuro. Questo perché la lentezza che contraddistingueva le società tradizionali non risponde alla logica della società capitalista e neoliberista del massimo profitto che si è imposta da un certo punto in poi, influenzando irrimediabilmente l’assetto economico-produttivo tradizionale che ha subito un’accellerazione a scapito della qualità. Alle economie locali, fondate sull’agricoltura, l’allevamento, l’artigianato e sul rispetto dei cicli naturali, gestite secondo metodi e modelli tradizionali si sono sostituiti sistemi e modelli finalizzati alla grande distribuzioni con l’imposizione di tecnologie che hanno il più delle volte compromesso l’equilibrio dell’intero ecosistema con lo sfruttamento indiscriminato delle risorse. In passato l’introduzione delle innovazioni nel patrimonio delle conoscenze consolidate veniva valutata, accettata e incorporata solo dopo che la loro sperimentazione ne avesse dimostrato l’effettiva efficacia e la compatibilità con la capacità dell’ecosistema di rinnovarsi e rigenerarsi. Qualsiasi azione sul territorio deve essere quindi progettata e pianificata in maniera partecipata e valutata nel lungo periodo. Non si tratta di un’azione, ma di un insieme di azioni concertate che mirino non solo al recupero del territorio inteso come l’insieme composto dal patrimonio materiale e dal paesaggio, ma anche della memoria storica attraverso la valorizzazione delle risorse umane e delle relazioni che intercorrono tra i due massimi sistemi. Ciò non presuppone un nostalgico ritorno ai modi tradizionali di vivere, ma la possibilità di organizzare modelli sociali autosostenibili e autopoietici in grado di “perpetuarsi e rigenerarsi continuamente” (P. Laureano) nel rispetto delle caratteristiche climatiche, geografiche e storico-culturali del luogo. Dal latino tradere, cioè consegnare, trasmettere. La trasmissione del sapere e della conoscenza non resta immutabile nel tempo, ma si trasforma, adeguandosi alle trasformazioni territoriali e alle mutate necessità di chi le eredita.

[Mediterranean diet: not only food]2012 •
The proposal of a Mediterranean way of life is much more than advise how to eat. The Mediterranean Diet, a model of Sustainable Diet, is an example of how to combine personal choices, economic, social and cultural rights, protective of human health and the ecosystem. There is in fact fundamental interdependence between dietary requirements, nutritional recommendations, production and consumption of food. In literature studies and nutritional and epidemiological monitoring activities at national and international level have found a lack of adherence to this lifestyle, due to the spread of the economy, lifestyles of the Western type and globalization of the production and consumption. To encourage the spread of a culture and a constant practice of the Mediterranean Diet, there are some tools that are presented in this article. The Mediterranean Diet Pyramid in addition to the recommendations on the frequency and portions of food, focuses on the choice of how to cook and eat food. The ...
La dieta Mediterranea è attualmente a rischio di estinzione a causa della globalizzazione, dell’omologazione degli stili di vita, della perdita di identità e d'apprezzamento verso la propria cultura alimentare. Con l’avvento dell’agricoltura moderna e della globalizzazione alimentare, i concetti di dieta sostenibile e di ecologia umana sono stati trascurati a favore dell’intensificazione e dell’industrializzazione dei sistemi agricoli, senza tuttavia portare miglioramenti a livello globale in campo nutrizionale. Se si associano questi elementi all’allarmante rapidità con cui la biodiversità alimentare si sta riducendo, e con cui gli ecosistemi si stanno deteriorando, un riesame dei sistemi agricoli e delle diete risulta assolutamente imprescindibile.

Street vendors are part of life in a city. Street vending serves as a livelihood basis and major source of income for many people who do not fit into the formal economic sector, specially in developing countries. But it also contributes to authentic gastronomic experiences of tourists offering a link between food, place and tourism. The study intends to provide an overview of food street and what it represent to image of a region. It also looks at the importance of roadside food vending for the livelihoods of the people involved as well as at the role street food plays in the urban food provisioning. The results show the benefits of using food street as an instrument for regional image development in the construction and maintenance of an attractive tourism. Keywords: street vendors; food tourism; tourism knowledge; consumption spaces.
