The Paralelo 40º – World Observatory of the Mediterranean Diet is an initiative that aims to promote, compile, and disseminate interdisciplinary & multisectoral research on the Mediterranean Diet from the food and agricultural, health, cultural, economic, gastronomic, and environmental aspects.
As the Mediterranean Diet is based on the consumption of local products more linked to the latitude (climatic conditions) of the Mediterranean Sea (parallel 40º), rather than its proximity to this sea, it has been decided to create an Observatory World Mediterranean Diet (Paralelo 40º) to capitalize on this lifestyle and spread its benefits.
