The Interactive Fish Centre is officially opened
On June 14th, the Interactive Fish Centre (CIP), specialized in commercial fish, with a vocation to educate and inform, was officially opened in Barcelona. This is an innovative, unique and rigorous project that shows the process followed by fish and shellfish, since it is caught until they reach the table of homes and restaurants. The process, however, stops at each stage where the hand of man is involved in preparing for the sale and marketing of fish. The tour concludes with the health benefits of eating fish at all ages. The main objective of CIP is to promote a greater understanding of fishery products among youth, especially primary school students. It aims to promote fish consumption in Catalan families through educating children.

The project is driven by the Association of Fish Wholesalers of Barcelona and Province (GMP), in collaboration with Mercabarna. Public and private entities also participate, such as: the Department of Agriculture, Food and Rural Action, the European Fisheries Fund, the Ministry of Environment, Rural and Marine Affairs, FROM, the Municipal Institute of Markets of Barcelona, the Mediterranean Diet Foundation, the Obra Social “La Caixa” and the Supermarkets Bon Preu and Sorli Discau, to name a few.

Inauguration of the 3rd Internacional Forum
The Mediterranean Diet Foundation participated from May 31st to June 2nd in the 3rd International Forum Planète Terroirs held in Chefchaouen, Morocco, with the participation of Joan Reguant, Cultural Projects Coordinador.

On behalf of Spain there were representatives of the Governments of the Autonomous Communities of the Balearic Islands, Andalusia and Catalonia. The Director General of the Department of Agriculture, Mr. Antoni Díaz, stressed his government’s commitment to both cooperation and support in food cultural heritage, making a special mention to the Mediterranean Diet and its UNESCO nomination. Mr. Francisco Mombiela, as Secretary General of CIHEAM (international Centre for Mediterranean Studies) gave a speech in which he also highlighted the importance of the Mediterranean Diet and hope to achieve its universal recognition by registration in November on the Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of UNESCO. In this great capital, resource and cultural heritage shared by all the Mediterranean peoples that is the Mediterranean Diet and the nomination were referred to in the speeches of most Moroccan authorities.

The 3rd International Forum was attended by over 400 participants from over twenty countries around the world who worked on four themes: diversity, sustainability, “terroirs” and development. Creating a particular route within the Intercontinental Biosphere Reserve of the Mediterranean was discussed that will put the value of natural, cultural and gastronomic heritage in the Mediterranean.

The FDM was involved with the expert Joan Reguant by invitation of the Organization, together with Professor Giuseppe Barbera of the University of Palermo and three French experts, ran the workshop “Comment dynamiser les interventions entre savoir faire, patrimonies locaux et diversité biologique”, presidit per Pablo Eyzaguirre, investigador etnobiologista de Bioversity International.
