Food & Drink / In A Journal Article
Italian term or phrase: \"presidi\" gastronomici
Contesto:

A differenza del biologico, il tipico, in quanto prodotto di qualità, difficilmente entra nell'alimentazione quotidiana; rimane piuttosto occasione di rito, di celebrazione, di vacanza. Per la sua natura "localizzata", costituisce un'attrattiva turistica, la ragione stessa di una escursione o di un viaggio, alla volta di una sagra, di una particolare manifestazione, o semplicemente verso uno di quei "presidi" gastronomici individuati dalle associazioni di appassionati, come lo Slow Food, a sostegno dei prodotti artigianali più selezionati.

Molte Grazie,

Barbara

creating "Praesidia" grassroots organizations to promote slow foods to the public[5]

Loosely speaking you might say /a typical gastronomic area/because products would be limiting the concept.

Loosely translated into “garrison,” Slow Food Presidia (Presidium, singular) are local projects that work to improve the infrastructure of artisan food production. The goals of the Presidia are to guarantee a viable future for traditional foods by stabilizing production techniques, establishing stringent production standards, and promoting local consumption.

Sometimes, it takes just a little to save an artisan food; it’s enough to bring together producers, help them coordinate marketing and promotion, and establish quality and authenticity standards for their product. Other times, when the production of an artisan food is closer to the brink, it takes more: building a slaughterhouse, an oven, or reconstructing crumbling farmhouse walls. Slow Food Presidia work in different ways, but the goals remain constant: to promote artisan products; to stabilize production techniques; to establish stringent production standards and, above all, to guarantee a viable future for traditional foods.

The spelling in my answer should be the Italian Presidia and I'd keep the inverted commas

Explanation:
What it really is is a "food service facility", but since we are talking about something fairly exclusive, I think you could simply say "restaurants".

agree  philgoddard: This is correct, but has the drawback that people won't understand it unless you add a few words of explanation.

  -> Maybe they could Google it and learn something, however, I had suggested an alternative (typical gastronomic area) at the end of my answer. It is also explained in the source text soon after it occurs.

agree  Jeremy Parzen, Ph.D.: Historically, the term has invariably been translated as praesidia (using the Latin as per her rendering)
