Who is the Gastronome?

Our Manifesto

A Gastronome is a new kind of food professional who understands the entire food-production chain, from the agricultural starting point through its industrial transformation and distribution, paying particular attention to environmental, cultural, and culinary issues.

A Gastronome understands how to connect food processes to economic and communication systems, the complex relationships within gastronomic ecosystems, the nuances of marketing of every day and high-quality products, and how to develop new foods that promote the richness of regional and international food traditions across global cultures and borders with an outlook on the future.

A Gastronome believes that food is built by, on, and for people.

People, not Ingredients!

Un Gastronomo è un nuovo tipo di professionista del cibo che studia l'intera catena di produzione del cibo, dall’agricoltura fino alla sua trasformazione industriale e alla distribuzione, prestando particolare attenzione alle importanti sfide ambientali, culturali e culinarie.

Un Gastronomo comprende come collegare i processi di produzione alimentare ai sistemi economici e di comunicazione, le complesse relazioni all'interno degli ecosistemi gastronomici, le sfumature del marketing di prodotti di uso quotidiano e di alta qualità e come sviluppare nuovi alimenti che promuovano la ricchezza delle tradizioni alimentari regionali e internazionali attraverso le culture e i confini globali con uno sguardo rivolto al futuro.

Un gastronomo crede che il cibo sia costruito sulle persone.

Persone, non Ingredienti!
