Abstract: | The Valencian Country ranks among some of the culinary regions that have been involved in the configuration of the Mediterranean dietary model. Through time, the Valencian population has developed its own cultural food heritage from what was at hand, from gastronomic narratives and from dietary practices built up over centuries. The history of nourishment and nutrition in the Valencian Country is what has helped shape this cultural food heritage, playing a major role in the development of dietary studies. The promotion of a Mediterranean diet is not just about the foods it includes, as factors such as the passing of values, food production and procurement methods, biodiversity and environmental ecology should also be considered, so that a more holistic view on nutrition can be achieved. However, the current Mediterranean diet has been westernised as a consequence of globalisation. Intergenerational shifts, cultural erosion and industrialized agriculture are only a few of the contributing sources to the decline in adherence to the Mediterranean dietary model. The key to turning this around could be found in fostering dietary practices and traditions, and harnessing them to social causes such as food sovereignty. Awakening the Mediterranean society's interest in cultural food identity as a way to restore its dietary model is one possible path towards healthy and sustainable food. |
