Sustainable Food

The 210 cities from around the globe which signed the Milan Urban Food Policy Pact will be debating the link between food and the climate emergency from 19 to 21 October 2021.

Held in October and aimed at the general public, this series of activities is designed to foster healthy and accessible diets for all, driven by sustainable local economies.

Barcelona’s traditional food events, such as the Market of Markets and BioCultura, will also feature activities within the framework of the city’s role as the sustainable food capital.

La Mercè, the Biennial of Thought and the City and Science Biennial will also be including activities, lectures and debates on the challenges of sustainable food in their programmes this year.

The seasonal menus will be included among the eating options at the park. There’s also a new show about food to enjoy, with courses for kids also being offered in collaboration with the Fundació Alícia.

At the MUHBA, there’s a chance to see the exhibition ‘Feeding Barcelona, from Bàrcino to the Global World’. Elsewhere, pollinators take centre stage in ‘More than Bees’ at the Museum of Natural Sciences. MACBA's cuisine will also be active througout the year. 

Barcelona is also holding other food-related events, such as the European Agroecology Congress in June and the Aplec d’Horts Urbans (Urban Allotments Meeting) in the autumn.
