1 Updates on the Mediterranean diet as a case study for sustainable diets Sandro Dernini, PhD Forum on Mediterranean Food Cultures FAO Sustainable Food Systems Program
2 From an healthy dietary pattern to a sustainable diet model and an intangible heritage The Mediterranean diet, scientifically well-characterized as a healthy dietary pattern and acknowledged by UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage, has also become in the past years an object of increasing studies on its sustainability.

6 Definition of Sustainable Diets Sustainable Diets are those diets with low environmental impacts which contribute to food and nutrition security and to healthy life for present and future generations.

Development of guidelines is catalysing partnerships among for Med diet sustainability United Nations (UN) agencies, other international agencies, governments, and industry and civil society organizations whose activities can promote the essential transition to sustainability. It is a unique collaborative effort between the leading intergovernmental agencies in the areas of food, agriculture and the environment, to improve resource use efficiency and reduce the pollution intensity of food systems, from production to

10 From an overview of recent studies on the sustainability of the Mediterranean diet (s) In order to define the most appropriate methods and indicators to assess the sustainability of the diets in the Mediterranean area, there is a need for new cross-cutting interdisciplinary approaches to consider its health/nutrition, environment, economic, and sociocultural sustainability dimensions.

12 The erosion of the Med diet The Mediterranean diet, acknowledged by UNESCO as a cultural intangible heritage, and despite its increasing popularity worldwide and scientific interest, is for many years subject to a serious process of erosion, in all Mediterranean countries. This poses important sustainability threats to the preservation and
13 The Mediterranean sustainable diet Therefore, the acknowledgement of the Mediterranean diet as a sustainable diet requires the development of new cross-cutting studies to analyze the synergies between its healthy dietary pattern and its multidimensional sustainability impacts for the benefit of present and future generations.
14 Sustainable Med diet studies are safeguarding measures for its intangible cultural heritage Further new studies on the sustainability of the Mediterranean diet should be promoted within the development of the safeguarding measures of the Mediterranean diet, as requested by UNESCO for its inscription in the list of the intangible cultural heritages of Humankind.
