Abstract(s)
Inscribed in the UN’s Representative
List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage
of Humanity, the Mediterranean
Diet (MD) is intrinsic to the
Mediterranean identity. It involves
a set of skills, knowledge, rituals,
symbols and traditions related to
cultures, landscape and lifestyle.
Nevertheless, some Mediterranean
rural regions seem to have natural
and demographic handicaps resulting
from ignorance of the economic
potential of the Mediterranean
cultural identity. The MD.net
Project addressed the problems of
currently neglected and undeveloped
opportunities of the Mediterranean
Diet concept. The main objective
of the project was to improve the
valuation of this concept according
to the United Nations Educational,
Scientific and Cultural Organization
(UNESCO) Mediterranean Diet
Convention, blending comprehensive
Mediterranean Diet concepts with
innovative tools. The project used
both traditional and creative actions,
underpinned in the quadruple helix
methodology

that aims at bringing
together stakeholders (government,
industry, academia and civil society) in
open innovation generation processes,
in order to drive structural changes in
favour of regional development, far
beyond what any single organization
could do, thus lifting the MD economy
to new quality levels
