YourTerm FOOD

Promote the high quality EU food through linguistic consciousness

YourTerm FOOD is a terminology project aiming at creating multilingual glossaries about the food industry and gastronomy fields and promoting gastronomy as an essential part of our European heritage and education.

This project is necessary to promote the high quality European food that is deeply linked to its local traditions and different landscapes. It is essential to raise the awareness and knowledge of citizens on food in the European Union attract interest on an international level.

This domain currently counts five sub-projects:

European Cuisine and Gastronomy

The European Cuisine and Gastronomy is rooted in the history of the continent. Its long traditions evolved throughout the years and the many techniques and dishes, which have been included in the art of cooking are the ideal theme for understanding the correct asset of the food pyramid.

Food Safety

Food Safety is one of the main topic at stake, which is strictly connected with health. Every citizen has the right to know how the food they eat is produced, processed, packaged, labelled and sold. Therefore, this sub-project will describe how food safety policies are implemented, what are the effective control systems and the compliance with EU standards.

Food Service and Food Processing

The unprecedented rise of new eating habits determined by a multitude of factors – especially cultural, religious, economic, environmental, social, and political ones – has led to the emergence of new concepts in need for designation. This, coupled with the increasing demand for foods with little or no history of consumption and/or production within the European Union, asks for the development of terminological resources that would promote broader knowledge and denominative stability, and thus help ensure consumer protection.

Novel Food and New Eating Habits

The unprecedented rise of new eating habits determined by a multitude of factors – especially cultural, religious, economic, environmental, social, and political ones – has led to the emergence of new concepts in need for designation. This, coupled with the increasing demand for foods with little or no history of consumption and/or production within the European Union, asks for the development of terminological resources that would promote broader knowledge and denominative stability, and thus help ensure consumer protection. 

Vitiviniculture

The wine market is characterized by intense worldwide commercial exchanges. The documentation of the multilingual terminology of the vitiviniculture domain is indispensable in order to guarantee the inter-linguistic terminological consistency in the processes of production, sale, export and/or import of this commercial product.
