(KA220-ADU) "MedBiz" Project

Necessity of the Project
The global rise in non-communicable diseases, coupled with growing environmental concerns, necessitates a shift towards sustainable and healthy eating patterns. The Mediterranean diet, recognized for its health benefits and sustainability, offers a valuable model. However, there's a knowledge gap among chefs in Northern Europe regarding this diet, limiting the availability and variety of Mediterranean options in this region. This project aims to bridge this gap, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of Mediterranean culinary practices among Northern European chefs, and promoting environmental sustainability and healthy eating habits.
Project Summary
This initiative, seeks to educate and train chefs from Northern Europe in the Mediterranean diet's principles and practices. Through a series of workshops, training sessions, and the creation of an e-platform for continuous learning and exchange, the project will enhance chefs' skills in Mediterranean cuisine, sustainable cooking methods, and business acumen in the culinary industry. Additionally, it aims to establish a network of businesses for the mutual development of the Mediterranean diet and introduce labels for recognizing sustainable Mediterranean cuisine practices
