Culinary Heritage

In addition to fostering a sustainable food system, the partnership is committed to preserving AlUla’s distinctive culinary heritage. Efforts to document traditional agricultural methods, local dishes, and culinary experts are integral to maintaining the region’s gastronomic identity. This collaboration extends beyond preservation, as it also seeks to empower the local community. By bridging the gap between food producers and consumers, the initiative nurtures a self-sustaining ecosystem that benefits all stakeholders. The establishment of the Slow Food Centre is a pivotal element of this partnership, offering a venue for education and engagement. 

Through workshops, demonstrations, and various initiatives, the centre promotes sustainable agricultural practices and culinary traditions, serving as a vital resource for knowledge sharing and skill development among local residents.
