The New Nordic Food Conference 2011 gathered over 220 participants from 11 countries!
The conference about the potential and future of Nordic Food, is organised by the Nordic Council of Ministers, in co-operation with Nordic Innovation. The focus of the conferens is on one particular feature of the Nordic welfare model - eating outside home in our institutional foodscapes such as schools, hospitals and canteens. This topic is also approached from the viewpoint of climate, which is the theme of the Finnish presidency of the Nordic Council of Ministers. The first conference day culminates with a dinner in form of an exciting food event directed by Matti Jämsen, Finland's chef in Bocuse d'Or 2011.
The conference offers an excellent opportunity to meet with stakeholders from the Nordic food chain for discussions on how to utilise the potential of Nordic cuisine. With the help of social media, the conference will be reaching a new level of interactiveness. There will also be several events, such as a poster exhibition, a Nordic food court and taste education workshop, which will bring the experience of Nordic cuisine closer to the conference guests.
The conference contains both plenary programme and specific programme for three subsections; Food, Children & Health, Public Foodscapes, and Nordic Oat Days 2011.
The conference will be held in Scandinavian and English. Interpretation to and from English will be provided.
