The second edition of the Ibero-American Gastronomic Congress Binómico, to be held in Huelva from October 24 to 26 under the slogan ‘We are Origin‘, was presented on Tuesday at the Embassy of Argentina, guest country in this edition.
Binómico, in which 22 countries will be represented, returns with the objectives of strengthening the hallmarks of Ibero-American identity, disseminating Ibero-American culture through gastronomy and turning Huelva into a nexus of union with the Ibero-American gastronomic culture, as well as supporting the commitments of governments and institutions with the 2030 Agenda through gastronomy and healthy eating.
The Deputy Minister of Tourism of Argentina, Yanina Martínez, pointed out that gastronomy can strengthen “our country brand” since “Argentine cuisine has a lot of identity, color and flavor”. She also defended the role of gastronomy in the 2030 Agenda, because “it is wellbeing and health”.
The event was also attended by the general director of Agrifood Industry of the Ministry of Agriculture of Spain, Miguel Herrero; the managing director of the Agency for Agricultural and Fisheries Management of Andalusia (AGAPA), José Carlos Álvarez; the vice president of Tourism of Huelva, Modesta Romero; the advisor of Strategic Alliances of the SEGIB, Luciana Binaghi; the Argentine ambassador, Ricardo Alfonsin; and the director of the congress, Alberto de Paz.
The event culminated with a cocktail where Huelva and Argentinean products could be tasted, with the elaborations of the Argentinean chef Germán Carrizo, from the Fierro Restaurant, and the catering service of CESAL, International NGO that has an important social gastronomy project.
