Science, Sustainability, and Wellbeing—United by the Mediterranean

HOHLI is a transdisciplinary research project that explores the deep connections between environmental health, sustainable food systems, and human wellbeing. Rooted in the principles of the One Health approach, the project investigates how the Mediterranean diet—particularly its seafood components—can promote fertility, support healthy ageing, and enhance quality of life in harmony with marine ecosystems.

A

Mediterranean

Model

for the Future

By combining clinical research, environmental monitoring, and digital innovation, HOHLI aims to:

Assess how marine environmental quality impacts the nutritional value of local seafood.
Explore the influence of diet and environment on reproductive health and longevity.
Empower individuals and communities to make healthier, more sustainable food choices.

The project focuses on selected areas of the Adriatic and Tyrrhenian coasts—particularly Pollica, the emblematic home of the Mediterranean Diet—bringing together local knowledge, scientific excellence, and technological tools to co-create solutions that can be scaled and transferred across regions.

Monitor

Water, soil, and air quality using IoT and molecular sensors.

Analyze

Educate

Citizens and stakeholders through communication, workshops, and digital platforms
