Gastronomy, often referred to as the art of food, encompasses more than just cooking. It reflects the cultural identity and culinary traditions of a region. Whether it’s a street dish from Bangkok or a heritage stew from Morocco, gastronomy tells the story of a place and its people.

When paired with sustainability, gastronomy transforms into a powerful tool for change. Sustainable gastronomy refers to food practices that are environmentally friendly, socially responsible, and economically viable. It focuses on where ingredients come from, how they are grown, how they are transported, and ultimately, how they are consumed — with minimal harm to the planet and public health.
