The library is your go-to source to find valuable knowledge to inspire new collaborative projects driving fair, sustainable and inclusive development across the Mediterranean.
MedSNAIL factsheets of quality products belonging to the Mediterranean culture, history and traditions.
As an alternative to the MedSNAIL Geodatabase, factsheets have been published with information on Ark of Taste products identified through MedSNAIL. This is a more visual and easy-to-share tool that describes the nature, production process and history of these products. The Ark of Taste is a Slow Food initiative created to highlight the existence of quality products belonging to cultures, history and traditions around the world, which are at risk of disappearing within a few generations.
MedSNAIL Narrative Labels to raise awareness of products linked to local history, tradition and culture.
Narrative labelling is a tool inspired by the strategic instruments developed by Slow Food and ultimately aims to promote a more homogeneous identification between products from a specific area, thus fostering a sense of shared identity and a more direct association between the area and its local products. Each of the MedSNAIL pilot areas has identified local products adapted to and consistent with their natural environment and developed labels that highlight descriptive characteristics associated with their territorial context, historical trajectory and connections with the intangible practices and traditions of local communities.
MedSNAIL Alliance of Chefs Directory for local products promotion.
The MedSNAIL Chefs Alliance, inspired by a Slow Food initiative, is made up of a group of chefs committed to integrating local products into local food production. These establishments have been identified and collected through a specific directory that makes it possible to identify Mediterranean gastronomic establishments committed to local products. This network will serve as a precedent for possible collaborations and/or synergies between members of the sector, as well as new commercial links between producers and chefs.
MedSNAIL Strategy for Mediterranean agri-food sector
This is an integrated analysis of the MedSNAIL pilot areas (six pilot areas in Jordan, Lebanon, Malta, Palestine, Tunisia and Spain), which has enabled work to identify and prioritise common challenges and joint opportunities in the Mediterranean agri-food sector. It is a key document that lays the foundations for contextualising local scenarios and establishing useful comparisons that allow work to be coordinated through strategic solutions.
MedSNAIL Alliance for fair, sustainable, resilient and competitive Mediterranean agri-food system
The MedSNAIL Alliance is a model agreement that includes milestones and specific lines of work that actively contribute to the transition of the Mediterranean agri-food sector towards a fairer, more sustainable and competitive model. The alliance is understood as an open and scalable tool to ratify the commitment of those entities interested in strengthening and adding value to Mediterranean food chains.
MedSNAIL Agrobiodiversity studies to preserve local food memory
Agrobiodiversity studies constitute a strategic study of each of the six MedSNAIL pilot areas, their food varieties and related industries, as well as the environmental and cultural factors that condition the agri-food development of local MSMEs. They are understood as an agile and basic tool for preserving the food memory of the territory, but also for defining lines of action to reverse situations that endanger traditional varieties and related industries.
MedSNAIL Geodatabase of quality products belonging to the Mediterranean culture, history and traditions
This is a digital tool developed by Slow Food that allows any user to learn about the MedSNAIL pilot areas, as well as to identify the products selected as strategic by means of files describing their nature, production process and history. These products have also been included in the Ark of Taste programme, which is a Slow Food initiative created to highlight the existence of quality products belonging to the cultures, history and traditions of the entire planet, which are at risk of disappearing within a few generations.
MedSNAIL Legacy
It is a final publication summarising the results derived from the project and the lessons learned with the aim of replicating and capitalising on the methodology implemented in MedSNAIL.
