MANIFEST
MANIFESTO “SCIENTIFIC GASTRONOMY BARCELONA 2019”
Meetings in Barcelona, professors, chefs, researchers, communicators and experts from all over the world who in recent decades have contributed to the understanding and innovation of gastronomy from our different disciplines, within the framework of the Science & Cooking World Congress Barcelona 2019 that has been held in the Aula Magna of the Historical Building of the University of Barcelona on March 4, 5 and 6 within the activities of the III 2019 Catalan Cuisine Congress.
Draft this manifesto aimed at the economic sector of food and gastronomy, the administration, educational managers and society in general, to establish the basic principles of a new discipline or field of knowledge that in recent years has taken shape.
- Cooking is an essential activity for humans, which distinguishes it from other animals and is necessary for all aspects of their diet and well-being.
- Cooking, by its very nature, is continually evolving to adapt to social, economic, ethical and lifestyle changes.
- Science is fundamental to generating new knowledge and science, applied to cooking, promotes culinary innovation.
- The purpose of the kitchen is to modify foods so that they are more suitable for man: “good for food”, “good for thinking” and “good for health”.
- These “good” concepts cannot be reduced to the interpretation of isolated concepts, present in other sciences. It is becoming increasingly necessary to have a vision of our own born from a holistic view of everything related to cooking.
- Higher vocational or university training must incorporate new culinary knowledge based on scientific evidence into programs and activities linked to cooking.
- For all these reasons, Scientific Gastronomy, understood as culinary and gastronomic science, must be considered a new and independent discipline, with its own paradigms, but that relates to other sciences in a constructive way.
- Administrations must incorporate this new reality into the planning of training, research and innovation promotion programs, with total equivalence with the rest of recognized areas or areas of knowledge.
- Culinary innovation within the professional sphere and the creation of specific doctorates in the field of higher education must be promoted as the purposes of this standardization process.
- The Scientific Gastronomy advocates the 17 Sustainable Development Goals proposed by the United Nations, especially the global values of sustainability, social responsibility and humanity.
For all these reasons indicated above, the promoters of this manifesto agree to work together and cooperatively so that this new discipline, the “Scientific Gastronomy”, is promoted and disseminated through all types of activities. Also, in order to carry out a periodic monitoring of the evolution of these objectives, it is agreed to create a periodic “Science and Cooking” congress and a monitoring body that acts as a permanent observatory called “Barcelona Observatory on Science and Cooking”.
