Is Sustainable Gastronomy Possible? Here is the Truth about the Food Production Chain
|
Gastronomy is the study of the relationship between food and culture. Sustainable Gastronomy is the community-benefiting and planet-protecting network of farmers and diverse businesses that together bring the farm to the frying pan. A research blog by the Good Travel Guide takes you inside the food industry and disassembles it into its main parts to show you why it’s not sustainable and what farmers and businesses need to do to protect communities, animals, and our planet. |
