  • Alimentació i estil de vida
    Food and lifestyle. How we decide what to feed ourselves

    In this programme you will find practical ways for moving towards a diet that includes habits which improve quality of life for ourselves and the people around us.
    You learn how this affects our decisions, how we choose what we buy and where we buy it, all in a cheerful, fun and creative way.
    We discover how to improve our surroundings and our inner selves, in order to feel full of life.
    Our food choices have an impact on the environment; we review various diets (carnivorous, omnivorous and vegetarian) and finally focus on the plant-based diet.

  • Food and health

    How can you adapt sustainable food to healthy living?

    Batch cooking consists in cooking for the whole family and investing a little time so you can make nutritious everyday meals, at home and for your lunch box.

    BREAKFAST: habits as simple as a good glass of water, with sea water and lemon. Breakfasts such as shakes or smoothies, which you can warm up in winter. You will discover recipes such as rice pudding and pear, quality-bread sandwiches and an omelette made from organic eggs.

    LUNCH: important notions on how to structure a dish with different groups of foods. A dish is not the same for a teenager as a middle-aged person. You can cook the same for all the family but put in what each person needs. You should always add vegetables in season, wholemeal carbohydrates, some raw vegetables, sprouted and fermented foods, etc. You will discover recipes such as baked pumpkin with curry; lentils cooked with adobo, sprouted ... and seeds; chickpeas with prawns; wholemeal rice with mushrooms; and lettuce head salad with carrot, olives and chopped chives. Wholemeal pasta with courgettes, mushrooms, squid with carrot and beetroot.

    EVENING MEAL: an evening meal or supper should be light and eaten as early as possible. You will discover recipes such as pumpkin, sweet potato and oatmeal soup; vegetable pudding with carrot and broccoli; fish soup with noodles, and grilled fish in a sauce.

  • 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.

  • Discussion between Vanesa Freixa and Joan Rieradevall

    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.

  • Food low in CO2-eq emissions. The life cycle of food and its carbon footprint

    Talk looking at all the most common stages of the life cycle of our food. From the farm to the table, we’ll be pondering the carbon footprint of agriculture, packaging, logistics, cooking, organic waste etc. The overall goal is to provide information for deciding on food which has a lower impact in terms of greenhouse gas emissions. The session will also stress the contradictions in environmental communication for consumers.

  • Dialogue between Vandana Shiva and Esther Vivas

    What are the impacts of our food system on our planet? How does this affect the peasantry, our territory and the communities of the global south? What role does the food industry play? What can we do as consumers? What is the role and situation of women, who have traditionally fed the world? On all these issues, we offer you an exciting dialogue with Vandana Shiva (Indian climate activist, graduate in physics, philosopher, ecologist, feminist and author of more than twenty books and 300 articles in the world's most prestigious scientific journals) and Esther Vivas ( activist, researcher in social movements and agricultural and food policies, degree in journalism and diploma in higher studies in sociology from the Autonomous University of Barcelona).

  • Conflictes socioambientals del sistema alimentari a Catalunya
    Socio-environmental conflicts surrounding the food system in Catalonia

    The current industrial agri-food system generates a series of environmental conflicts that are manifested through struggles and mobilisations in response to the impact this system has on the environment and society. These conflicts are mainly associated with the defence of environmental conditions or equal access and distribution of natural resources, often occurring in production and transit areas, and ultimately affecting the regions and communities where they happen. They often reveal conflicting interests, different development paradigms, and aspects related to involvement in decision-making.

    The aim of this roundtable is to address some of the main current socio-environmental conflicts in Catalonia, arising from the food system, and to understand the causes and impacts both in Catalonia and the Global South, in order to make them visible, encourage dialogue and provide possible solutions or alternatives.

  • Horta
    Horta (vegetable garden)

    Horta is a show that recuperates values rooted in the earth and the most genuine ancestral customs, bringing them up to date and adapting them to the interests and knowledge of younger children. An itinerant journey through various transformed theatrical spaces in Horta, where the senses and the children are the protagonists: touching the earth, listening to and singing songs, discovering stories and old objects and smelling herbs.

    Joana and Esther, the two stars of this story, have everything ready: this is the time to wake the earth up and start the cycle, as they were shown by their granddad Vicent and their grandma Maria.
    An experience that combines the power of oral narration with the magic and poetry of theatrical and performance resources. Through our senses, we discover what Horta is, with tenderness and emotion, but above all, with humour, entertainment and education.

    The countryside is part of our tradition and our future and... Who knows, the children in the audience today may become the great agronomists of the future!

  • Experiència gastronòmica: menú degustació amb aliments ecològics i de temporada i proximitat
    Culinary experience: a tasting menu with ecological, local and seasonal food

    Would you like to taste a menu put together by healthy, sustainable groups? Let yourself be seduced by their culinary proposals. Come, taste, and become part of the change.

    When designing the menu, we took the following into account:

    • The Mediterranean diet as the basis for the project: seasonal vegetables, legumes and fish.
    • The food offered to us by the producers of local, seasonal ecological produce.
    • The dishes have been designed with culinary combinations, in order to enjoy the territory's food, produced using healthy culinary techniques.

    The menu is cooked by eighteen chefs who belong to the network; we are from Catalonia, Valencia, Aragon, Madrid, the Balearic Islands, the Canary Islands and Galicia.
    We serve the menu accompanied by the producers who supplied the vegetables, legumes, oil, wine and fish. We will also be accompanied by a manager of short-circuit marketing, a nutritionist and an educator; we would like you to meet all of the people who make the change of model possible in our groups, a strategic sector for furthering this change in the food model.

    Menu

    • Cream of sweet potato with hen-of-the-wood mushrooms
    • Raw vegetable salad with pomegranate and orange vinaigrette
    • Chickpea hamburger with spinach and young garlic sauce
    • Beetroot pie with carob sauce
