Sustainable Gastronomy Day, celebrated on June 18, 2025, was proclaimed by the United Nations in 2016 to annually promote environmentally conscious food practices. Sustainable gastronomy prioritizes local ingredients, reduces waste, and supports small-scale farmers.
Sustainable Gastronomy Day encourages individuals and businesses to consider the environmental impact of their food choices and to preserve culinary traditions while protecting biodiversity. It is the perfect day to for example bring your own cup when getting take away drinks at a coffee place.
