Areas of Impact

MoreMedDiet's research is designed to generate impact across three interconnected dimensions

 

Health

WP5 cohort follow-up links MoreMedDiet recipe adoption to measurable improvements in adherence scores, BMI, waist circumference and self-reported wellbeing — building the evidence base for diet-related disease prevention.

Nutrition

Bioactive-enriched recipes developed in WP2 deliver higher fibre, antioxidant and prebiotic content than conventional equivalents, while remaining grounded in familiar Mediterranean flavours that consumers rated highly in Living Lab tastings.

Sustainability

By valorising agro-industry by-products, underused local crop varieties and lower-value fish species, MoreMedDiet recipes reduce food waste and support short, local supply chains across the Mediterranean basin.
