The GEOfood brand is an international initiative lead by Magma Geopark, Norway and managed by Sara Gentilini, founder of GEOFOOD!
GEOfood empowers local communities within UNESCO Global Geoparks by promoting sustainable use of resources while raising awareness on the importance of km-zero food (carbon footprint).
At present, the GEOFOOD brand is being utilised by 32 territories worldwide, with over 100 enterprises involving GEOfood branding in their local offer. There are several educational activities in place, and a Global Research project (IGCp 726) is running to strengthen its values along with supporting its establishment among new partners.
In this online presentation, Sara will introduce the concept of GEOFOOD and how it links together the geology, people, heritage and local food of each area, creating a unique local offer. She will give some examples from other areas on how the GEOfood brand is being used.
Katla Geopark has recently joined GEOfood and will introduce its new partners as well.
