This is an intergenerational social innovation and entrepreneurship project to promote traditional, locally-based Mediterranean food and gastronomy. The aim is to recover local food habits based on the knowledge and know-how of the senior population, linking it with younger audiences and more up-to-date knowledge of nutrition and food safety.

The project is part of the Mértola Food Strategy, which involves a group of local partners in the quest to create a local-based food system that allows greater gains in terms of public health, food sovereignty and safety, quality of life, local economy and sustainability, bearing in mind the territorial context of very low density and high vulnerability to climate change and desertification.
