Type: Communities

Convivium leader / spoke person: Dimopoulou Christina

We Chefs and Producers are striving for a better gastronomic future for everyone by the promotion of sustainable products and support of socially and environmentally conscious producers of our area. Our initiative is guided by the conception that we Chefs can contribute to the information of consumers towards clarification of the sustainable farming benefits, influence public policies as well as the consumers’ choice, while rewarding, through the demand, the sustainable production itself and, therefore, the further development of the offer of sustainable products. In other words, we aim to establish a circular economy model “Farm to Fork” and “Fork to Farm”, while the attitude and selection of informed consumers constitute its decisive midway point.
