AlpFoodway: a cross-disciplinary, transnational and participative approach to Alpine food cultural heritage
Home
Outcomes
Overview
Food heritage is a strong identity source for Alpine populations. Depopulation, ageing and globalisation put Alpine food heritage at risk. AlpFoodway applied a cross-disciplinary, transnational and participative approach to enhance Alpine food cultural heritage. During the project, partners identified prevalent heritage, then created and tested intergenerational transmission formats and new marketing tools. Drawing on this experience, they created a sustainable development model for peripheral mountain areas to support the preservation and valorisation of Alpine Space food cultural heritage. These project activities fostered the creation of a transnational Alpine identity based on the shared cultural values underlying the Alpine food heritage.
