The cultural value of the food, in its multiple forms and dimensions (agricultural products, cultivation and production techniques and traditions, recipes, diets, etc.) is recognized by the UNESCO Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage (Paris, 17 October 2003), referred to in the Italian Code of Cultural Heritage and Landscape (Legislative Decree 22 January 2004, no. 42). The Convention calls for national systems protecting cultural heritage to be adapted to address three essential issues: the notion, which should include both material and immaterial cultural heritage; the organization, for enhancing the role of private actors and local institutions in the policies related to cultural heritage; the concept of protection, to be broadened to cover the identification, documentation, research, preservation, promotion, enhancement, and transmission, particularly through formal and non-formal education, as well as the revitalisation of the various aspects of such invaluable heritage. |
