Pollica

Tradition and Innovation for a Sustainable Future

POLLICA - CILENTO

The cradle of the Mediterranean diet

Pollica, set in the heart of the Cilento region, is the living embodiment of the Mediterranean Diet—an invaluable heritage recognized by UNESCO as a symbol of health and tradition. Its strategic location within the Cilento National Park, a protected area of extraordinary ecological significance, makes it the perfect starting point for an authentic encounter with nature.

POLLICA - CILENTO

A deep connection between man, nature, and community.

It is perhaps thanks to this privileged position that Pollica has, over the centuries, cultivated a lifestyle deeply in tune with nature and its resources. A way of life shaped by small daily habits that have become enduring traditions, rooted in sustainability and respect for the land. In Pollica, every action—from tending olive groves to fishing—reflects a profound bond with the environment and a philosophy prioritizing harmony between people and nature. The stone-paved streets of Pollica, its seaside villages like Acciaroli and Pioppi, and its rolling hills dotted with vineyards and orchards tell a story of resilience and harmony—a story in which the local community plays a key role, fostering a strong sense of togetherness, sharing, and hospitality.

A Living Laboratory of Innovation

But Pollica is not just history and tradition. Here, traditions are not only cultural legacies—they actively shape daily practices and are passed down through generations. In recent years, Pollica has evolved into a living laboratory of innovation and research, where experts, scientists, and young changemakers collaborate to experiment with new solutions in environmental sustainability, education, and territorial regeneration. Pollica is also home to the Pollica Paideia Campus—more than just a place, it is a living ecosystem for learning, innovation, and regeneration. Here, knowledge merges with experience, and culture embraces the future. In this setting, the Future Food Institute has created a one-of-a-kind space to train the next generation of changemakers: the Climate Shapers.

We are facing a new era, one that follows the perfect storm of climate, health, economic, social, and environmental crises. Our commitment is to continue applying and exploring the paradigm based on integral ecology to build a more just and sustainable future.
