“ Europe Village” for knowledge and flavors:laboratory of mediterranean diet

[soccorso capomolla]

INTRODUCTION: in the last two decades it was demonstrated that the Mediterranean diet – such as a way of life and feeding – is one of the most effective preventive cares against the cardiovascular diseases.
Unfortunately, nowadays one of its components is deeply changed: people have a sedentary lifestyle, which has decreased the preventive effectiveness of this diet.
For this reason the new Mediterranean generations, which had a lower risk; now have the same risk of other people, who do not follow a Mediterranean diet.
After all it is possible to counteract this kind of negative alteration; in fact on the Mediterranean live a lot of people, whose customs and traditions could interact together to create an interplay of styles of life, environment and feeding.
This trilogy probably will have a strategic role to prevent cardiovascular diseases and to improve the quality of people’s lives.

PURPOSE:
1. Carry out a reconnaissance of customs, traditions and diets of the Mediterranean populations.
2. Create “The village of Europe” : a space of “interchange and contamination” of the Mediterranean cultures and flavors. Physically this space will assume the connotation of urban rural village in the Mediterranean, composed by a multifunctional unit, multi-unit storage of knowledge and tastes of the various Mediterranean countries. The construction of this area will be built by eco-sustainable technology able to provide a safe environment to the most vulnerable social groups (children and elderly).

METHODS: The project will have a modular approach:
Module 1:
feasibility study with a scientific survey of the lifestyle of people of Mediterranean, kind of diet, preventive analysis of confounding factors, determination by SWOT analysis of the strengths and the weakness; reformulation of knowledge for the sustainable implementation of a pilot study, which in addition to the physical space of the village, allowing the creation of a park of Mediterranean biodiversity and define processes, strategies and implementations of good organizational practices.
Module 2:
will be implemented the functioning of the European village and its practices with the development of a transnational tourism annual affordable and respectful of territorial identity and knowledge and Mediterranean flavors.
Module 3:
development of guidelines on the new “Mediterranean style”; creation of operational protocols for implementation of natural patterns of Mediterranean biodiversity, recommendations for sustainable tourism on the Mediterranean.
Results expected: 1) better knowledge of the Mediterranean territories, lifestyles, nutrition and their relations with the cardiovascular prevention ; 2) The realization of European village sustainable, with the Mediterranean biodiversity; 3) developing new knowledge system capable of having a favorable impact on sustainable tourism; 4) to formulate guidelines for the dissemination of new knowledge.
Recalls: inviting organizations – from at least three European countries that share the preliminary planning – to express an declaration of interest to join the first recall of the Interreg program mediterranean expiring on 11/02/2015.

Buongiorno,
se la proposta è ancora valida saremmo molto interessati alla stessa. Siamo un gruppo di ricerca all’interno dell’Istituto di Fisiologia Clinica del CNR (IFC-CNR), sede di Pisa. Abbiamo expertise in vari settori di interesse della proposta progettuale, tra i quali l’analisi sensoriale (con particolare riferimento ad olfatto e gusto) e l’analisi di correlati neurofisiologici legati al processamento degli stimoli sensoriali stessi. Su queste tematiche, fortemente legate tra loro, abbiamo pubblicato anche diversi lavori su riviste scientifiche internazionali.
Se credete che la ns.expertise possa essere di aiuto per la proposta (sempre che l’invito sia ancora valido) saremmo molto felici di parteciparvi.

Cordiali saluti.
