Foodprint | The Mediterranean Garden

A cross-media project that tells the story of the creation of the Mediterranean Diet and explores why it is relevant to our lives today. It is based on the premise that the Mediterranean Diet is an integral part of world cultural heritage, and is a vehicle for promoting better health, hospitality, neighborliness, intercultural dialogue, creativity and sustainability. Connecting Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Croatia and Cyprus, the project is based on a contemporary photography exhibition and parallel activities including documentary screenings, educational programmes, photography workshops and culinary walks.
It aims to engage children, young people and a wider audience through workshops and events within and without the museums, inviting visitors to participate, taste and ask how the collective choices we make can lead to a more sustainable future. Bringing alive a history of sustainability, health and exchange, Foodprint seeks to inspire change and to connect a European audience with one of the world’s richest and healthiest food cultures.
