The manifesto
Five principles.
One purpose.
These guide our actions and our decisions as a global community.
1
Recognize
Food traditions, makers, and markets are cultural heritage, not just tourism product.
2
Respect
Engage without appropriating. Participate without exploiting local knowledge and identity.
3
Protect
Support the people and communities who carry these traditions forward.
4
Document
Record what exists before it disappears from living memory.
5
Connect
Build bridges between those who share these values — travelers, communities, institutions.
