The Congress will focus on fostering scholarly exchange of knowledge and reflections on the interconnectedness of gastronomy, food sustainability, ecological transition, and food justice. Its primary objective is to offer a comprehensive overview of recent research in sustainable gastronomic sciences and studies while delving into the complexities of transdisciplinarity within this field. Specifically, the Congress aims to examine the definition of gastronomy and its pivotal role in shaping our society and to explore the necessary transitions to address global challenges within food systems worldwide.
The Congress will address these issues by exploring topics such as the environment, mobility, perception, One Health, food sovereignty, local ecological knowledge, and food heritage. Through these discussions, participants will cross-inspire each other in the multifaceted role of gastronomy in addressing contemporary food-related challenges and in fostering sustainable practices. By providing a platform for dialogue and collaboration, the Congress will catalyze innovative solutions and promote positive change in the realm of sustainable gastronomy and food systems.
Seven panels, one of which dedicated to “Food Media and Communication”:
- Local Knowledge and Heritage
- Mobilities and Exchanges
- Justice, Governance, and Sovereignties
- Food Media and Communication: Beginning with the recent inundation of mass media with images of food, this section aims to criticize frequent rhetoric like ‘happy farming’ or ‘agro-apocalypses’, as well as individualistic slogans such as “vote with your spoon”. The scope is to explore such debates offering insights from a diverse range of national and regional contexts.

- Culinary Narratives, Arts, Philosophy, and Design
- Ecological Transition or Revolution?
