Nordic Food Diplomacy

Nordic Food Diplomacy - culinary experiences for all senses that strengthen the Nordic countries’ unique values, at home and abroad. 

Project Manager: Charlotta Ranert, charlotta@If you can see this, please update your browsercharlottaranert.se. 

"Nordic Food Diplomacy" is a tool for communication of Nordic values, through the display of food and culinary portrayals for a viewing audience or dinner guests. The expression is used to emphasize the cultural and ideological values in conjunction with other forms of communication. "Nordic Food Diplomacy" can be used for political meals, representative events and export initiatives, along with music, art, lectures, theatrical performances, exhibitions, etc. Nordic Food Diplomacy is a continuation of the project that was launched in spring 2011 under the name "Public Food Diplomacy". 

This project is carried out by New Nordic Food II programme together with KreaNord.
