Food Heritage: Experiences and Good Practices in the Alps

On 14 and 15 November 2020, a meeting of producers, researchers, institutions, and Alpine communities was held in Grenoble, where participants exchanged experiences and good practices for preserving Alpine food heritage, titled Les rencontres du patrimoine alimentaire alpin: Expériences et bonnes pratiques à travers les Alpes. The thematic round tables highlighted knowledge about plants, pastoral practices, indigenous breeds, and collaborative strategies within the Alpine region. The event forms part of the international Alpine food heritage network, a network that emerged from the AlpFoodway project and is preparing a nomination for the UNESCO Register of Good Safeguarding Practices. Slovenia was represented by Franc Šivec, beekeeper, and Špela Ledinek Lozej.
