On 16 November 2012, during the a week of activities from 19-25 November 2012, numerous initiatives were undertaken within the framework of the project for “The Development of the Mediterranean Diet to stimulate sustainable growth in the region”.

Two themes were proposed, “Mediterranean Cooking discovering the links between nature, food and culture”, which took place on 16 November, and the “Marathon for Sustainable Development for the Mediterranean Community”, which took place during the week from 19-25 November in the framework of the UNESCO Week for Education and Sustainable Development promoted by the Italian National Committee for UNESCO on the theme of Mother Earth, Diet, Agriculture and Ecosystems. In a broader context, initiatives of the “Network of Restaurants supporting the Mediterranean Diet” are linked to the project and can be identified by quality certification.
