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.
