GastroLabCollege - Greener food artisans

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE PROJECT?

The project addresses the global, national and local challenges within food systems and consumers' attitudes towards food. With GastroLabCollege – Greener Food Craftsmen, we will implement sustainable teaching and workshop formats in the formal education of gastronomy students. Our vision is that the teaching at the involved vocational schools and in the affiliated companies will be based on the latest knowledge and experience about climate-friendly food and teaching methods that motivate students to reflect and act sustainably both in education and profession.
