Presentation
Through knowledge and implementation of the concept of circular gastronomy, it is possible to improve the negative impacts of restaurant and catering companies, as well as generate an ethic linked to a more sustainable and participatory development of gastronomy. In turn, effective monitoring allows for better economic results, as well as boosting innovation and generating curiosity among the population to discover new opportunities for economic growth.
This qualification is necessary because it not only seeks to improve the profitability of the gastronomic and agri-food business, but also teaches the optimal way of coexistence between the business, the local community and the environment thanks to the promotion of the consumption of sustainable food and products, of km 0, the reuse, recycling and reduction of the use of polluting materials.
The purpose of this degree is to make the most of the resources offered by a region such as the Community of Madrid, which has been working for years to raise awareness among gastronomic businesses and the food industry about the benefits of making use of the wide variety of local products that offers.
Beyond the orchards of Villa del Prado or Aranjuez, the IGP Carne Sierra de Guadarrama, the wines or the extra virgin olive oil, we find a long list of ecological, biological and organic products, which are known is a priority so that They are considered a first option in the hospitality business, not only because of their quality, but also because of the increasing importance of reducing the carbon footprint, promoting sustainability and advocating for a fairer economy while respecting the rights of producers.
In the near future, with the entry into the market of the new generations, much more aware and professionalized, the client will demand that the product meets all these requirements. For example, the healthy and sustainable eating and lifestyle movements have had a significant impact on Generation Z.
Sustainable product and km 0 are two concepts that coexist and, therefore, must be studied understanding that one coexists thanks to the other.
The professional in the world of gastronomy must not only be able to use them, but also to make the most of their possibilities, understanding that this is also part of circular and sustainable gastronomy. Only in this way will the exceptional product of the Community of Madrid be recognized internationally, as well as the innovation implemented.
