EUREGA

European Regions of Gastronomy
Building resilience and creating economic growth

Project website

objective

Gastronomy, the local and regional food heritage is a common European cultural heritage and an important economic asset. Regional agri-food value chains and the cooperation they generate between various sectors, including agriculture, tourism, hospitality, education, etc., can have a serious positive impact on local development. However, European gastronomic regions face serious difficulties such as losing their gastronomic uniqueness due to globalization and an underestimation of gastronomy as a cultural heritage that needs to be protected.

The main objective of EUREGA is to include and recognize EU, regional and national strategies and policies as a cultural asset and a strong element of regional cultural identity. This should lead to creating stronger and more resilient regions by protecting and stimulating gastronomy as part of their cultural heritage and also by identifying new opportunities for economic development.
