Gastronomy is the study of the relationship between food and culture, art of preparing and serving rich or delicate and appetizing food, a style of cooking of particular region, and the science of good eating. For the first time, Sustainable Gastronomy Day, as designated by the UN, is being celebrated around the world. The celebration acknowledges gastronomy as a cultural expression related to the natural and cultural diversity of the world. It also reaffirms that all cultures and civilizations are contributors and crucial enablers of sustainable development. It also emphasizes the need to focus the world’s attention on the role that sustainable gastronomy can play, owing to its interlinkages with the three dimensions of sustainable development, in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals by promoting: agricultural development, food security, nutrition, sustainable food production, and conservation of biodiversity. Happy Sustainable Gastronomy Day! Eat well, live well, make a difference.
