Abstract
This chapter aims to explore the importance of geofood products in safeguarding the ecocultural integrity of UNESCO geopark territories and suggests strategies for their ongoing promotion and conservation. It starts from the concept of geofood and explores the strategies and actions developed in UNESCO World Geoparks in Portugal, seeking to systematise the logic of action, the processes of product involvement and their commercial valorisation. It takes a descriptive approach, based on the 5 UNESCO World Geoparks existing in 2023 (Naturtejo Geopark, Arouca Geoaapark, Acçores Geopark, Terras de Cavaleiros Geopark and Estrela Geopark), seeking to identify their geofood products and their connection with geology, the stimulus they promote for geotourism and their articulation in geoeducation processes.
