Where it comes from
On 21 December 2016 the UN General Assembly adopted, without a vote, resolution 71/246, naming 18 June Sustainable Gastronomy Day. The resolution recognises gastronomy as a cultural expression of the world's natural and cultural diversity, and FAO and UNESCO help countries observe the day.
How it's celebrated
Cities, chefs and food festivals hold exhibitions, shows and tastings, and FAO shares simple advice: buy what is in season from small farmers, try local foods when you travel, keep traditional recipes alive and waste less.
Did you know
FAO says about one third of all food produced is lost or wasted.
