Events

• A 4-hour workshop to explore how to cook in a sustainable manner.  This activity is designed to help participants develop a sustainable diet thanks to a visit to a local urban farm, followed by a vegetarian cooking class.
• A “glocal” sustainable food workshop where creative recipes and traditional exotic spices will be used to elevate local produce and represent Geneva’s diversity of cultures.
• By bringing people of various backgrounds together to exchange, explore and spice up, we ultimately aim at having participants adopt local products in their daily diet.
• The workshop will be preceded by a short visit to the on-site urban farm, la Ferme de Budé, to learn about its history, development and importance as ambassador of a sustainable agricultural sector. The produce used in the cooking class will be picked there!
