The MedDiet project is articulated into different activities that are designed to achieve the beneficiaries of the project: consumers, schools, restaurants and institutions.

The first step to spread the principles of the Mediterranean Diet is to share a Mediterranean Knowledge System of the Mediterranean Diet, a common system of tools for the promotion and safeguarding of Mediterranean Diet. Common schemes and guidelines have been established and adopted by all partners to be applied to each national context of the project. The applied methodology allows to enhance the contribution of contents coming from all six countries and to build shared and effective methodologies and instruments  for safeguarding the originality of each country dietary pattern. 

To help consumers and enterprises to get the right information about the Mediterranean Knowledge System of Mediterranean Diet and the MedDiet Quality Label, 20 Mediterranean Diet Info-Points are established. Trained human resources are available on the territory to spread and stimulate the effective use of MedDiet tools.
