The CIHEAM is made up of four Mediterranean Agronomic Institutes (MAI) located in Bari (Italy), Chania (Greece), Montpellier (France) and Zaragoza (Spain) and a General Secretariat in Paris. At present, Adel El-Beltagy chairs the CIHEAM Governing Board and Francisco Mombiela is Secretary General. In pursuing its three main complementary missions (specialised post-graduate education, networked research and facilitation of the regional debate), the CIHEAM has established itself as an authority in its fields of activity: Mediterranean agriculture, food and sustainable rural development. In 2012, the CIHEAM celebrates its fiftieth anniversary with trust and hope. Trust is essential for developing the Mediterranean partnership, and the CIHEAM thus insists that it does not work “on” but “for” and “with” the Mediterranean region aiming to disseminate the spirit of cooperation. Hope also, to continue along the same path as before while adapting to the new political and financial trends that are gradually taking shape in the region. The CIHEAM views these challenges as tremendous opportunities for the future. Current events constantly demonstrate that agriculture, food and the sustainable management of natural resources are areas of common interest which foster solidarity between peoples. www.ciheam.org This report has been produced in partnership with: Maquette_EN:Mediterra_2012_EN 22/02/12 9:06 Page 6 Maquette_EN:Mediterra_2012_EN 24/02/12 20:51 Page 7 Table OF CONTENTS PREFACE 15 CONTRIBUTORS 17 INTRODUCTION 21 • The fare of the Mediterranean seas 21 • A new journey to be taken 22 • The Mediterranean Diet – between concern and hope 23 • Multidisciplinary expertise for a cross-cutting report 24 • An itinerary in eight stages 25 ORIGINS 1and construction of the Mediterranean Diet 27 > CHAPTER 1 The Mediterranean Diet: designed for the future Joan Reguant-Aleix 29 • Beyond words 29 • The Mediterranean, much more than a sea 30 • A space with slippery limits 31 • A sculptured landscape 33 • A sea of achievements 35 • The Mediterranean Diet, much more than a nutritional guideline 38 • The Mediterranean, alive and dynamic 40 • Revisiting Ancel Keys 42 • Voices of the Mediterranean today 46 > CHAPTER 2 History of Mediterranean food Mohamed Yassine Essid 51 • A look at the past 51 • Culinary practices 59 Maquette_EN:Mediterra_2012_EN 22/02/12 9:06 Page 8 8 MEDITERRA 2012 • A confluence of traditions 61 • Conclusion 65 > CHAPTER 3 A dietary model constructed by scientists Sandro Dernini, Elliot M.
