The Mediterranean diet involves a set of skills, knowledge, rituals, symbols and traditions concerning crops, harvesting, fishing, animal husbandry, conservation, processing, cooking, and particularly the sharing and consumption of food. Food is key but does not stand alone. Hence, how can we innovate in mediterranean traditional foods, introducing new products, and process, and still maintain our intangible cultural heritage of (for) humanity? This international conference brought together researchers, industry, professionals, and consumers to share innovative ideas in this field and share results from the research and innovative work being developed across the Mediterranean region with a special focus on the development of: Innovative plant-based dairy analogues; Plant and nut-based flours and development of bakery products and pasta; Innovative added-value traditional ready-to-eat meals.
