2025-11-03 15:00 2025-11-03 17:00 Europe/Madrid The revival of local varieties: unique cuisine Ancient seeds are local varieties that have traditionally been cultivated in specific regions. They represent a rich genetic, cultural, and gastronomic heritage, but many have disappeared or are at risk due to market homogenization and the loss of traditional knowledge.Recovering them is essential to preserve biodiversity, adapt to climate change, and strengthen food sovereignty. However, there are significant challenges: from limited institutional support to regulations that hinder their commercialization.Local governments can play a key role by supporting recovery projects, raising awareness, and promoting their presence in markets and schools. Moreover, the culinary and restaurant sectors have a great opportunity to incorporate these unique ingredients, which connect with the territory and add distinctive value. Forum Lab

2025-11-04 10:30 2025-11-04 14:00 Europe/Madrid Pre-EFOOD26 by Elisava 6 Fork When designers and chefs sit down at the same table, the future of food changes.

What happens when a chef's knowledge meets a designer's vision? When the gastronomic experience intersects with systemic thinking, innovation, and creativity?

Pre-EFOOD2026 is that meeting point: the space where fairer, more sustainable, and more inspiring food futures begin to take shape. This unique event celebrates the collaboration between chefs and designers, two professions that, when brought together, have the power to transform food systems and make them healthier, more inclusive, more sustainable, and more meaningful.
It's not just about collaborating: it's about co-creating. And doing so now is urgent.

Born out of the new Degree in Design for Food Systems at ELISAVA and CETT-UB, the event presents an emerging professional profile: the creative food systems strategist, a figure capable of moving from science to culture, from logistics to innovation, integrating perspectives and building solutions with real impact. On stage, chefs, designers, and change agents will share ideas and provocations about the role of food design in today's world.
At the heart of the event—and in front of the audience—creative teams will transform these visions in real time: edible prototypes, speculative concepts, immersive rituals, and future-oriented experiences. The result will be a living gallery, a space to savor, reflect, and imagine what food design can become.

EFOOD is an initiative of FORK—Food Design for Opportunities, Research, and Knowledge—dedicated to promoting critical reflection, transdisciplinary thinking, and creative experimentation around the future of food systems. It is conceived as a platform for encounters, projects, and actions that brings together designers, chefs, scientists, farmers, activists, artists, and specialists from multiple disciplines, with the common purpose of imagining and designing fairer, more sustainable, and healthier food futures. Since its inception, EFOOD has sought to challenge dominant paradigms and explore the role of design as a transformative tool in the relationship between food, people, and the planet.

This initiative seeks to identify the dish that best represents the essence of Catalan cuisine. From among 15 initial proposals, the four emblematic dishes that go through to the semi-finals are chosen by popular vote via the website platfavorit.cuina.cat. The event will begin with a four-way conversation between some of the participating chefs, entitled: ‘From bread with tomato to calçots: the symbol of a country at the table’, a reflection on how traditional dishes explain our culture, territory and identity.
