Sustainable Gastronomy Day in 2023

Sunday, Jun 18

Days to go:

Sustainable Gastronomy Day aims to highlight the importance of sustainable food production and consumption for global food security, biodiversity conservation, and climate change mitigation. This observance also acknowledges gastronomy's cultural, social, and economic significance. It encourages individuals, businesses, and policymakers to make conscious choices that promote sustainability in the food sector, including sourcing local and seasonal produce, reducing food waste, and adopting energy-efficient cooking practices.

Established by the United Nations General Assembly in 2016, Sustainable Gastronomy Day acknowledges the role of food in achieving the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. In the United States, this observance is increasingly relevant due to the growing awareness of environmental issues, coupled with the diverse food heritage that the country possesses. Americans are encouraged to participate in the global effort by supporting local farmers, eating a diet that is both environmentally friendly and culturally enriching, and advocating for policies that promote sustainable food production and consumption.

Sustainable Gastronomy Day is observed in America through various initiatives, events, and educational programs that encourage sustainable food practices. Local governments, organizations, and citizens often host workshops, food fairs, and talks that promote the various aspects of sustainable gastronomy, such as organic farming, urban agriculture, and green restaurants. By participating in these events and adopting sustainable food habits, Americans can contribute to positive change in their food system and global efforts towards sustainability and food security. Sustainable Gastronomy Day is typically observed on June 18th each year, aligning with the global celebration.
