Webinar on Zoom
Registration by the latest 24 September 2021
The webinar is a kick off for creating a constructive dialogue about Nordic food culture and its different drivers for promoting sustainable lifestyle. It's time to explore the Nordic Kitchen Manifesto as a catalyst in creating a new toll fo a constructive dialogue to match the different sustainability perspectives of just food systems in the Nordics.
The Nordics are on a mission to transform their food systems. The countries want to further strengthen their role as pioneers. One step for reaching sustainable development goals is to share Nordic solutions, innovations and best practices. Here we need to listen to, network with, be inspired by and learn from the younger generation of professionals such as chefs and other key actors within the whole value chain of food.
The Nordic Kitchen Manifesto was conceived and formulated in 2004 and summarised in then points on purity, season, ethics, health, sustainability and quality. It has led us to a new level of consciousness by placing meals in front and in center. Support for bottom-up processes and innovation in the food service sector have been a priority for Nordic co-operation ever since. National strategies have subsequently been drawn up, using food as a tool not only for attracting tourism, supporting food artisans and entrepreneurs, improving hospitality, national branding and sustainable growth but also to consolidate new holistic principles for Nordic food identity based on sustainability and good health.
The revitalisation process is facilitated by the New Nordic Food programme and Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry as part of the Finland's presidency of the Nordic Council of Ministers in 2021. The New Nordic Food programme aims at initiating, facilitating and coordinating activities grounded in the New Nordic Kitchen Manifesto. The revitalisation process includes a kick off webinar for stakeholders, workshops for focus groups, networking events, dialogues and communications in the Nordics 2021-2022.
The webinar is organised in technical collaboration with Hanaholmen - the Swedish-Finnish Cultural Centre.
The Nordic webinar will be executed in Swedish and English. We reserve the right for changes in the programme.
Warmly welcome!
