Boosting Local Urban Markets in the Mediterranean

It is funded by the European Union as part of the PRIMA Programme.

Understanding Mediterranean Food Markets

BLUMI-Med explores local urban and peri-urban food markets across the Mediterranean, assessing their environmental, economic, social, and governance dimensions to identify opportunities for more sustainable and resilient food systems.

From Research to Real-World Impact

Through scientific research, stakeholder collaboration, digital innovation, and policy recommendations, BLUMI-Med develops practical solutions that strengthen local food markets and support sustainable development across the Mediterranean.
