Ecogastronomy encompasses the deep connection between food & wine, their places of origin, the environment, and human cultures. Recognizing that the food we consume is reliant on soil health and ecological processes, we realize that every meal we consume has implications for our well-being, the planet, and our communities. The primary goal of ecogastronomy revolves around championing agricultural practices and selecting food options that promote both personal health and planetary welfare.

At UVic, our pursuit involves the comprehensive study of food and wine production. We use quantitative data and empirical evidence to unravel the complex ways in which agricultural practices influence the environment and society. Our aim is to illuminate the intricate bonds between nurturing nature, crafting meaningful culinary experiences, and understanding the journey our food makes from farm to table. Through our efforts, we strive to foster sustainable farming practices, while enhancing access to premium-quality food for everyone.
