LaFuGa SUMMIT
The Netherlands
5th 8th
november 2023
IS THE FUTURE PLANT BASED ?
The LaFuGa Summit is an inspirational yearly gathering. Gastronomic people from different disciplines gather around the table of the future. Our theme this year is whether the future is plant based. Many people seem to agree that the consumption of meat is a major contributor to the societal problems we face. Is no meat the answer? And how about the alternatives, are they truly a solution?
One thing is certain: we live beyond the caring capacity of our world. We need to reconnect with nature and restore harmony. The gastronomic perspective is often overlooked in the public and academic debate.
La Fuga unites chefs, farmers, producers, teachers and researchers in taste and gastronomy from around the world. Join and meet passionate people who believe in the power of gastronomy to improve the world through food.
We welcome everybody who can strengthen our mission. There are no simple solutions, original and innovative ideas are needed.
We offer an open atmosphere where opinions are valued. Join now for 3 delicious days full of thought provoking dialogues, great dinner experiences and inspiring excursions!
