This book analyzes the relationship between gastronomy and sustainability from a sociocultural perspective. It uses practical case studies to reveal the connection between food, society, culture, and the impact they have with each other. Beginning with the introduction of the relationship among gastronomy, sustainability, culture, and contemporary controversies, this book expands topics from binomial gastronomy at local level, impact of sustainability on gastronomic experiences, an evaluation of production systems to the role of gastronomy, and sustainability in tourism.
