  • Food landscapes. What if we learned at a very young age where the food we eat comes from?

    <p>In order to spark an interest in local and seasonal cuisine among the younger generations, an activity designed for kids was carried out, which consisted of creating a piece of artwork about the origins of food.<br />
    Through a fun and creative activity, based on the collage technique, boys and girls from the Barcelona Metropolitan Area created a set of landscapes from the ingredients used to make different recipes. A collective imaginary, which introduced young children, in a playful, experimental and creative way, to the knowledge about our gastronomic culture, and at the same time, taught them the value of a healthy and sustainable diet.<br />
    The art work can be seen on the Sustainable Food Week social media and also on the different screens set up at the different municipal markets.<br />
    &nbsp;</p>

  • The future of food: how to combine health and sustainability

    <p>As part of the goals of the Barcelona 2021 World Capital of Sustainable Food, and to help promote a transition towards food sustainability, combining people's health with the planet's health, the conference aims to raise awareness about the need for this transition, as well as discussing scientific data and the projects that are being carried out in this field.<br />
    The conference is on the future of food: how to combine health and sustainability. It aims to combine experience with academic knowledge, civil society and public institutions, in a reflective debate on the challenges facing us in our move towards 5S food (Salubrious, Sustainable, Safe, Social and Satisfactory), with speeches, roundtables and debates concerning diets and health, the impact of climate change on food systems, agroecology and ecological food, equity, biodiversity and food safety and their socio-economic impact.&nbsp; It will also discuss the subjects of food equity, the right to food and perspectives on food vulnerability, as well as the environmental impact of food and diets, food waste and the added value of local produce as being good for the planet and for strengthening local economies.<br />
    The conference will be taking place on 13 October, from 4 to 8 pm, and on 14 October, from 3 to 8:10 pm.</p>

    <p>&nbsp;</p>

  • Inauguration of Sustainable Food Citizen Week. Changing the world by eating

    <p>The start off the week will be a chorus, musical, and participative. 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.</p>

    Exposició temporal “Alimentar Barcelona. Ciutat, proveïment i salut”
    Temporary exhibition “Feeding Barcelona. City, supply and health”

    Feeding the population has always been a concern for cities. It has been a decisive factor in their relationship with surrounding territories, in the centuries-long evolution of technologies for obtaining food produce and in the conditions under which men and women have been able to feed themselves and stay alive.
    From the outset, one of the main tasks of the Consell de Cent, the Barcelona municipal institution created in 1249, was to guarantee food supplies and ensure food safety. Since then, the city's government has strived to guarantee good quality food supplies, because it has been directly responsible for them, provided support in doing so or has sought alternatives to the insufficient actions of other authorities.  
    The municipal government's intervention continues today, with Mercabarna, Barcelona and the Western Mediterranean's great food store, and the city's network of municipal markets. This long history of decisive municipal involvement in the food supply chain is historically unique to Barcelona, with no similar situation in most other European cities.   
    The exhibition is open from 15 October 2021 to 15 October 2022.

    Taller de vaixelles comestibles
    Edible crockery workshop. How can we get children to eat fruit and vegetables in a fun, and light-hearted way?

    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

    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.
