Tokyo – Lifestyles for human and planet prosperity: connections between Mediterranean Diet and Okinawa Diet

Eleven years after its nomination, there is a growing awareness of how the Mediterranean Diet is much more than just a food model, but a wealth of science, traditional knowledge, skills and identity values generated by a territory, Cilento, which can be considered as a real laboratory of biodiversity of land and sea, capable of releasing a natural wealth unique in the world.

Like Cilento, Okinawa, the island of the Ryukyu archipelago in the south of Japan, is the cradle of one of the most famous millenarian diets for the wholesomeness of its eating habits, which make the island historically known for the longevity of its inhabitants and for this reason called “the land of immortals”. The Okinawa diet is not only about eating habits, but, just like the Mediterranean Diet, it represents a lifestyle which focuses on the wellbeing of people and of the planet. The online panel, organized by the Future Food Institute, in cooperation with the Municipality of Pollica, Centro Studi Dieta Mediterranea “Angelo Vassallo” and I Love Italian Food, under the auspices of the Embassy of Italy in Tokyo, will dive deep into the parallelism between these two sustainable lifestyles.

AGENDA – (The panel will virtually connect the Kyobashi Living Lab and the Pollica Living Lab, the Paideia Campus, located in the Castle of Principi Capano.)
