Two academic studies are being produced in the frame of the Med EMPORION Project, an initiative in the frame of the MED Programme of the European Union.

Global study on Mediterranean markets

A comprehensive and global study on the current situation of the markets in the Mediterranean area. This study will analyse the state of the art, challenges and opportunities of markets, and will figure out proposals and solutions to their present situation. The study will be made on an integrated approach, considering technical, economics, social integration or tourist promotion points of view.

The analysis will take into account the whole Mediterranean markets reality, to reach a more global and comprehensive approach. As such, all the Mediterranean area will be considered as a working frame  

Study on the origin of local market products

Traditional local products are being sold together with many other of the same type coming from overseas. The percentage of locally produced and commercialised products has been reduced dramatically in recent years, also in the fresh categories.

This study will analyse where do the products come from and how and will pay attention on the importance of guaranteeing local products at local food markets for a sustainable economy. The study will arise awareness about food sovereignty in the frame of the market hall activity.
