THE BOOK ‘SUSTAINABLE FOOD SYSTEMS: CHANGE OF ROUTE IN THE MEDITERRANEAN!’ IS NOW OUT

The book 'Sustainable Food Systems. Change of Route in the Mediterranean' addressed food system sustainability from a transdisciplinary perspective, highlighting the intricate challenges they are faced with - from production to consumption - stressing the vital role of the Mediterranean diet across different sectors, and recognising ecosystem relationships and interdependencies.

Inspired by the discussions held at the Third World Conference on the Revitalisation of the Mediterranean Diet, organised by CIHEAM Bari, Italy in 2022, the book is part of continuing cultural journey towards a change of vision of Mediterranean food systems, which aims to encourage the transition from agri-food production to sustainable consumption and to place the Mediterranean Diet and the consumer at the heart of this new dynamic.

Building on these assumptions, CIHEAM has committed to developing its own vision and a relevant action plan on food system sustainability by implementing joint cooperative projects.
