HYBRID EVENT: You can participate in person at Valencia, Spain or Virtually from your home or work.
Indigenous diets and traditional foods reflect the cultural heritage, biodiversity, and nutritional wisdom of native communities worldwide. These diets are deeply rooted in locally available ingredients, including wild plants, grains, and animal products, which provide balanced nutrition and support sustainable food systems. Traditional foods often boast high nutrient density and unique health benefits, such as anti-inflammatory properties or immune-boosting compounds. Embracing indigenous diets helps preserve cultural identity and fosters a connection to nature while promoting healthier eating habits. In the face of modern dietary shifts and food insecurity, revitalizing traditional foods offers a pathway to improved health, environmental sustainability, and the preservation of cultural practices.
