International Board Meeting
Basque Culinary Center
San Francisco 16 JULY 2019
PRESENTATION
Basque Culinary Center will hold the 9th meeting of its International Board in San Francisco, a global epicenter of technological creativity, but also of organic food culture and sustainable thinking. San Francisco is among the most exciting destinations for current international gastronomy, which makes it be the ideal location to hold, with chef Dominique Crenn, an event for exploration and the exchange of ideas, thoughts and sources of inspiration in the presence of interdisciplinary experts and chefs like Yoshihiro Narisawa, Manu Buffara, Jock Zonfrillo, Enrique Olvera, Joan Roca, Andoni Luis Aduriz, Eneko Atxa, Trine Hahnemann, Katina and Kyle Connaughton, Anthony Myint, Alice Waters, among others.
We will also hold the conference “Sustainable thinking”:
a special session of talks and round tables to connect gastronomy with some of its environmental, technological and social challenges.
We would be delighted if you would join us at Salesforce next July 16th, from 9:00 am to 8:00 pm, where we will announce the new winner of Basque Culinary World Prize, an award created between Basque Culinary Center and the Basque Government to underline the impact that chefs can have beyond their kitchens and use gastronomy to transform society.
SUSTAINABLE THINKING SYMPOSIUM
Sustainability has become a word we now find everywhere. According to its definition, it relates to the satisfaction of current needs without compromising the ability of future generations to satisfy theirs, guaranteeing the balance between economic, environmental and social welfare.
The deterioration of natural resources calls into question the fact of whether we will be able to produce the food that will be needed in the future. Will we be able to achieve the requirements in terms of production, fighting at the same time poverty and inequality, in the uncertain context of climate change? An affirmative response necessarily implies a paradigm shift.
How can gastronomy take part in this conversation? The conference organised by Basque Culinary Center will share testimonies on how chefs can have an impact, showcasing different perspectives on how to connect food with environmental, economic, social and technological challenges.
