An opportunity to reflect on the future of food and discover new ways of evaluating what we eat.
Culinary habits are evolving in response to political and social changes. From a ‘ gastro-diplomacy ‘ perspective, food increasingly plays a primary role in achieving a sustainable and equitable civilisation, in which food becomes a tool to promote conviviality, cultural dialogue and a balance between tradition and innovation.
