The Fondazione Dieta Mediterranea is dedicated to promoting the traditional Mediterranean diet and its positive effects on health. Their mission includes protecting public health through preventive projects, as there is evidence to suggest that the Mediterranean diet can reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases, tumors, and other serious illnesses. Additionally, the organization emphasizes the environmental benefits of this dietary model, with an impact around 60% lower than that of the Northern European or North American diets.

The foundation offers a range of products and services, including educational activities, scientific research, events, and projects such as A Third Less, which focuses on preventing oncological diseases through a healthy lifestyle. To further the reach of their message, they provide downloadable resources and an app. The Fondazione Dieta Mediterranea is committed to fostering a sense of social, economic, and environmental well-being through the promotion of a sustainable and healthful dietary model.
