The rural movement gains momentum
The fourth edition of Terrae Gran Canaria concluded with a meeting in which more than 50 rural chefs from Spain, Italy, Portugal, and Andorra reaffirmed their intention to consolidate a collective movement that promotes the visibility of gastronomy rooted in the local territory. Key proposals included the need to forge alliances with producers, artisans, and colleagues from neighboring countries, to bring in more professionals—especially women—and to draw up a roadmap with actions that strengthen their public presence. Challenges such as bureaucracy, the lack of generational succession in rural trades, and the need to bring the rural perspective closer to cities were also highlighted.

The fourth edition of Terrae, the international congress of rural chefs, will return to Gran Canaria on March 15, 16, and 17. An adventure that goes beyond what is a gastronomic event. Terrae is a space to share concerns, projects, and personal experiences and to raise our voices in defense of rural environments as generators of life and wealth. Three days full of surprises in venues in the northwest of the island, in the Santa Brígida area. More than 40 chefs from various countries who have their roots and their life's work in the rural world will come together with producers and experts to share their concerns and challenges.
