Sustainable Management of Gastronomic Events

Abstract

The topic of sustainable management of gastronomic events is gaining increasing traction in the creation of sustainable practices that contribute to turning cities into more inclusive. Despite the great interest of academia, the literature is relatively dispersed, without unifying paradigms. There is also the need to define sustainable actions and policies that respond to the needs and expectations of the parties involved. To respond to the aforementioned research gap, this study aims to determine the factors associated with the sustainable management of gastronomic events through a scoping review of existing literature. In order to manage gastronomic events in a sustainable way, it is necessary to implement policies by developing practices that reduce the environmental impact of the events, encourage environmental education for those attending the events, promote the authenticity of local products and the sustainable management of the gastronomic events, contributing to visitor satisfaction and the well-being of local communities.
