The aim of the project is to create innovative technological production processes, production chains, marketing and logistic models that can assure the economic self-sustainability of the mountain regions. The project described in the article presents a high level of interdisciplinarity and it is based on five phases: 1. mapping of the traditional mountain food products of the italian territory and selection of significant study cases; 2. analysis of the technologic, production, logistic, legal and economic problems of the selected study cases and development of an inquires model of the agricultural and food mountain products; 3. put into practice of the solutions found to the technologic, production, logistic, legal and economic problems of the selected study cases; 4. definition of norms, marketing and economic solutions; 5. communication and dissemination of the results. The project described in the article and the methodology to implement it present a good level of innovation potential and can be transferred to other mountain regions.
