  • Food heritage and sustainability
    16th October - 17.30 H
    Plaça del Rei
    Round table

    The round table seeks to respond to the following questions. What impact will gastronomic heritage have to face as a consequence of sustainable food? Sustainability “imposes” challenges on us every day. What strategies are being pursued to achieve this adaptation? Will innovation bring us new ways of including sustainable ingredients in our diet? And, have we got ways of maintaining a healthy diet despite the changes to come? How will this need to bring about a transition to a more sustainable diet be compatible with maintaining gastronomic heritage? These are just some of the questions which the speakers in this session will be addressing.

  • Taller de vaixelles comestibles
    Edible crockery workshop. How can we get children to eat fruit and vegetables in a fun, and light-hearted way?
    October 16th - 10.00 H / 11.00 H / 12.00 h / 13.00 H
    Parc de la Barceloneta
    Workshop

    At the edible crockery workshop, children will create their own seasonal spoons, bowls and glasses using domestic technologies, with fruit and vegetables as their materials.
    The aim is to offer children and parents a fun, creative activity that involves healthy food.
    At the workshop, the children explore the shapes, textures, colours, aromas and tastes of the vegetables, learning concepts such as seasonal produce, location, ecology and properties of the fruit and vegetables. At the same time, the workshop fosters the introduction of these foodstuffs in their daily diets.

  • recuperem el valor dels aliments
    Culinary experience: recovering the value of food products
    October 16 - 14.00 H
    Parc de la Barceloneta
    Culinary experience

    A free, best-use meal to raise people's awareness about the value of food, preventing food waste and making the best use of food. 200 menus will be served, made using recovered food and a plenty of creativity! Parc de la Barceloneta will become an amplifier for the people and projects that work towards reducing food waste, making the most of food and achieving zero waste. The recovered food is the star of the show! The other ingredient: volunteers. The kitchen will be humming thanks to a team of volunteers who make it possible to recover surplus food, cook and serve the dishes. The selection, cleaning and preparation of all the recovered food is carried out in a fun, relaxed atmosphere. Everyone is welcome! On the same day, we will also be offering recovered food that hasn't been used by the kitchen, at an “adoption stall”, as a donation and act of joint responsibility towards the value of the product.

    We hereby inform you that we cannot guarantee that the meals served during this event are free of substances that may cause some type of allergy or food intolerance.

Having their say will be the real heroes of sustainable food, those involved in the food cycle: the fishermen, drivers, chefs, farmers, ranchers, market vendors. The speech will be intertwined with the large mechanical orchestra of Cabo San Roque, distributed in the form of a sound mural in front of the City Hall, along with the active participation of the public, in a collective musical creation composed especially for the occasion. A show that highlights all the participants behind the food supply network and gives them a voice.

    Jardí dels Tarongers
    Talk

    Interdependence, symbiosis and antagonism. An approach to food production from the rural and city perspectives. 

    Making the urban setting rural in three ways: production, environment and values. Understanding urbanised spaces as producers of biodiversity,  health and food, as well as natural spaces. Understanding the rural setting as a live space and one which gives life, not a space which consumes nor which is consumed, without us feeling linked in some real way to its values and rhythms.

    The fish market is a specific part of the Barcelona fishing port where the fish that have been caught during the day are auctioned off for sale. On the occasion of Sustainable Food Week, the market opens its doors so that we can learn about the fleet of the Fishermen’s Guild of la Barceloneta, the various fishing methods used and the environmental impact they have. During the visit, we will talk about the types of fishing and the methods used to catch different species, while learning what a day at the market is like, what species are sold at auction, and what measures are being taken to address the new challenges that are putting marine ecosystems at risk.

Within the framework of Barcelona, World Capital of Sustainable Food, the workshop will be placing emphasis on the waste produced in kitchens and how to food shop consciously. Participants will be encouraged to create the most sustainable recipe possible. Together, they will propose and seek responsible consumption alternatives in people’s diets.
