The Taste of West Cork Food Festival was
launched in 2004 as a celebration of local, traditional
and speciality food and of the cultural forces that shapes
its production, retailing and consumption. Now in its fourth
year the acclaimed festival has expanded its innovative
programme to include an annual seminar series entitled FOOD|CULTURE.
Viewing food through a wider cultural prism,
the seminar will seek to assess the economic, social and
environmental synergies that are fundamental to vibrant
functioning local economies. The inaugural event assembles
a panel of distinguished international and national commentators,
each of whom will offer informed perspectives and opinion
that will seek to define and discuss Ireland's food culture.
The seminar series has as a core objective an analysis of
the characteristics, dynamics, opportunities and challenges
that influence how food is produced and consumed in Ireland.
Interactive panel discussions will allow delegates the opportunity
to explore our food heritage, its origins, evolution and
protection as well as considering the changing socio-cultural
notions of consumption and sustenance.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
The conference will be of interest to anyone with an interest
in Ireland's food culture and in the role that food production,
it's marketing, retailing and consumption plays in shaping
our society and economy.
Delegates attending the seminar will also have an opportunity
to engage and participate in a wide range of activities
and events scheduled for the food festival. Take time to
relax and discover why West Cork is truly a place apart.
