A cross-disciplinary, transnational and participative approach to Alpine food cultural heritage

Programme 2014 - 2020 INTERREG VB Alpine Space

Date of latest update: 2023-08-11

Description

Description (EN):

Foodways are socioeconomic and cultural practices related to food production and consumption. Food heritage is a strong identity source for alpine populations. It goes beyond products to include productive landscapes and traditional knowledge on production techniques, consumption customs and rituals, and the transmission of ancient wisdom. Depopulation, ageing population and globalization put Alpine food heritage at risk of disappearing. The project will create a sustainable development model for peripheral mountain areas based on the preservation/valorization of AS cultural food heritage and on the adoption of innovative marketing and governance tools. It will also foster the emerging of a transnational alpine identity based on the common cultural values expressed in food heritage. Project outputs include Vision Paper, Value Charta, mapping of traditional food heritage, creation of a cutting edge online inventory, courses and educational units, and a cultural exchange platform based on events and tourist tours. The project will benefit heritage communities; local development professionals and organizations; cultural institutions; local, regional and national authorities. The project is innovative since it links food heritage with marketing and consumer culture, and does not consider heritage communities as passive recipients of ‘top-down’ interventions, but instead supports ‘bottom-up’ mobilization processes based on engagement/empowerment of the citizenship. The project also contributes to a recent international debate (the 2013 UNESCO Convention) on the Intangible Cultural Heritage. All Alpine administrations are experimenting safeguard and valorization solutions – albeit in a fragmented and uncoordinated way. The project will develop this theme at a scale –the entire Alps– never attempted before. As future perspective, the Alpine community could aspire to inscribe the Alpine food heritage on the UNESCO intangible cultural heritage list as a traditional foodway.

Achievements (EN):

Food heritage is a strong identity source for Alpine populations. Depopulation, ageing and globalisation put Alpine food heritage at risk. AlpFoodway applied a cross-disciplinary, transnational and participative approach to enhance Alpine food cultural heritage. During the project, partners identified prevalent heritage, then created and tested intergenerational transmission formats and new marketing tools. Drawing on this experience, they created a sustainable development model for peripheral mountain areas to support the preservation and valorisation of Alpine Space food cultural heritage. These project activities fostered the creation of a transnational Alpine identity based on the shared cultural values underlying the Alpine food heritage.

Expected Results (EN): Level of sustainable valorisation of cultural and natural heritage of the Alpine Space

Expected Outputs (EN):

1. Recognition of traditional food heritage as a driver for sustainable development in peripheral AS areas and as part of mainstream policies at Eusalp level; 2. Increased awareness of a transnational Alpine identity based on intangible cultural assets linked to traditional food heritage; 3. Increased innovation in pilot areas through the experimentation with bottom up participative processes; 4. Innovative management of cultural digital contents that will be accessible for the entire AS.
