Globalization and Gastronomy:

A Case Study on Economic Added Value of Territorial Identity

The project aims at analyzing the relationship between globalization and gastronomy in the framework of regional development, identifying challenges and key success factors. First, the field of gastronomy will be examined as a case study to understand the way regional identity can be a powerful and competitive tool to succeed in the global arena. Secondly, we will turn to the role that university and the scientific community can play in bringing added value to regional identity and regional resources. Thirdly the seminar will seek to establish a platform to contribute to the networking of relevant stake holders and to a better understanding of gastronomy and territorial identity as an economic added value in a global context.

- Globalization and Gastronomy

The seminar will be organized with three different types of sessions and debates. On the one hand, scholars and policy makers will present ideas and concepts that are fundamental to understand what is at stake in globalization and regional development in the field of gastronomy. On the other hand, relevant actors and stakeholders in the food sector will present case studies focused on the conditions for success in the globalization of local identities (such as the internationalization of products from the territory) or on-site use of global resources (such as knowledge). In parallel, we will develop a first analysis of what could be a set of output and outcome indicators applicable to a regional development policy in this field.

The seminar starts on Friday afternoon, and closes on Sunday after lunch.
