From Farm to Fork in Jordan

From Farm to Fork in Jordan© by HIH promotes Sustainable Culinary Tourism with a central role for Sustainable Gastronomy at the intersection of Agriculture, Culinary Arts, Heritage, Destination Management, and Responsible Tourism. The project is aligned with the UN Tourism guidelines for Gastronomy Tourism, Slow Food, and the Economic Modernization Vision related to Green Growth and Destination Jordan. Our mission is to position Jordan as a meaningful food destination that tells the story of Bilad Al Sham (the Levant). Our goal is to meet the ethical culinary expectations of conscientious tourists and business travelers, while encouraging a healthy food culture for local residents.

Held for the first time in the Middle East, the 9th UN Tourism World Forum on Gastronomy Tourism will take place on 18-19 November 2024 in Bahrain, organized by UN Tourism, Basque Culinary Center, and Bahrain Tourism. Building on last year's theme "Back to the Roots", this year´s theme is "Gastronomy Tourism: A Driver of Economic Diversification and Inclusion".

We are excited to participate as a speaker about "From Farm to Fork" and share insights why Jordan's eclectic cuisine, rooted in the Levant/Bilad Al Sham and Arabian Peninsula, is one of the most significant contributors to the Mediterranean Diet and global culinary heritage.

Experience Bahrain's unique culinary tradition that reflects diverse cultural influences and join us for insightful discussions and exchanging best practices in this meaningful event that celebrates Cuisine, Culture, and Community.
