Slovenia not only holds the current Presidency of the Council of the EU but it is also a European Region of Gastronomy for 2021 and a ‘green gastronomy’ video from Slovenia shows how Member States can promote their national food assets in drives to reopen rural tourism destinations.
Produced to showcase Slovenia’s world class culinary creations and promoted by Slovenia’s National Rural Network, this award-winning video encourages viewers to travel to Slovenia to savour its unique food and drink products. It features forest food foragers, bio dynamic wine makers and world class cooks including a maestro of red corn and mountain traditions. See this example of how rural economies’ post-pandemic recovery efforts can be supported using video and green gastronomy as development tools to re- attract food tourists.
