Foodprint project: The Mediterranean Diet Revisited (EACEA 32/2019)

Foodprint tells the story of the creation of the Mediterranean Diet and explores why it is relevant to our lives today. It brings alive a history of sustainability, Health and cultural exchange, helping to explain how simple peasant food has come to be celebrated as the healthiest food for both our bodies and the planet. Connecting Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Croatia and Cyprus, the project is based on photographs by five European photographers that bring alive an age-old way of life practiced across the Mediterranean for centuries. Parallel activities include food photography workshops for teenagers, educational programmes, documentary screenings, cooking & food events and culinary walks.

Foodprint ultimately seeks to inspire change and to connect a European audience with the past of a region, which although marked by poverty and hunger, created the world’s healthiest and most sustainable diet.
