Capitalization Plan

FISH MED NET Capitalization Plan is the guiding document to disseminate the final results and outputs of the project and to capitalize them in order to promote debates and advocacy actions at both regional and Euro-Mediterranean level. The plan provides a comprehensive overview of the capitalization strategy, as well as a roadmap to carry out capitalization actions to be implementedby all project partners. FISH MED NET capitalisation is aimed at consolidating the capital built by the project, with the objectives of making the knowledge and results generated by the project more accessible, improving transfer of knowledge to a wider audience of target groups at Euro-Mediterranean level.
Creating synergies and cooperation with key stakeholders, organizations and projects at EuroMediterranean level, building on existing knowledge and experiences. Within the Capitalization plan, FISH MED NET developed a common brouchure coming from the event, the Blue growth Symposium held in Beirut with the aim to develop joint strategies and initiatives to strengthen alliances, synergies and capitalization strategies between ENI CBC Med projects and other stakeholders in the Blue Economy in the Mediterranean.

The MedArtSal Operational plan and guidelines for policy development

This document illustrates an Operational Plan for the development of policies for the sustainable management of Mediterranean artisanal salinas, from an Ecosystem-Based Management perspective. The purpose of the document is to develop different strategic lines that improve the sustainability of the salinas. The plan's objectives include utilising a sustainability model and identifying constraints and opportunities for implementing the model. A specific sub-operational plan has been discussed for the four MedArtSal partner countries (Lebanon, Tunisia, Italy and Spain) highlighting the primary challenges faced by artisanal salt producers in keeping salt pans in operation in a profitable and sustainable manner, as well as the potential solutions and opportunities.

Sustainable Management Model for Mediterranean Artisanal Salinas (final report)

This document describes the MedArtSal management model for the sustainability of Mediterranean artisanal salinas, from a new business model to an environmental-base innovation. This model promotes the adoption of innovative sustainable actions in artisanal salinas and is made up of good practices, commerce, biodiversity and ecosystem service preservation, as well as other services. The purpose of the document is to present the final version of the MedArtSal model and all the hands-on tools for fostering the application of the model suggestions and best practices, developed with a collaborative approach and support of several salinas from the project countries (Italy, Spain, Tunisia and Lebanon).

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.
