“…Regardless of whether we consider it a field of knowledge, practice, or both, it is clear that interventions in gastronomy, with its diverse expressions and intricate interdependencies, often require the involvement of actors from different applied expertise and research backgrounds [6]. To ensure effective collaboration among practitioners, researchers, and stakeholders in the field, it frequently appears necessary to move beyond interdisciplinarity and multidisciplinarity towards transdisciplinarity, an approach that engages not only researchers in a multiplicity of academic disciplines but also non-academic stakeholders, while blurring the boundaries between theory and practice [7][8][9][10].…”

Research and initiatives in the emerging field of gastronomy require collaboration among scholars and experts from diverse backgrounds. Transdisciplinarity has been indicated as an effective approach allowing stakeholders from a variety of disciplines and professional practices to better understand and plan interventions in complex gastronomy-related issues and challenges. However, the actors collaborating in such transdisciplinary processes often represent different priorities, values, and needs, as well as varying levels of power and access to financial means. This is particularly evident when it comes to gastronomic heritage. Its identification, support, and promotion require cultural, social, and political negotiations among a great number of stakeholders. Using a pilot workshop organized in March 2023 in Madrid as a case study, this articles suggests that participatory design methods can offer instruments to ensure the effective transdisciplinarity required in gastronomy and to address the political tensions that underlie many of its aspects.
