Who We Are
The Social Gastronomy Movement (SGM) is a global network of food actors and organizations co-creating just and inclusive food systems through learning, collaboration, and cultural exchange.
Over the past seven years, we’ve grown into a vibrant global community committed to transforming food systems with courage, creativity, and shared values.
A New Chapter
We are at an exciting turning point — one that calls on us to organize in new ways, deepen collaboration, and ensure every voice has a place in shaping our shared future.
SGM is becoming member-led and member-owned, built on radical cooperation. This is more than a membership — it’s an invitation to co-create a decentralized ecosystem that amplifies collective impact, nurtures trust across borders, and drives the inclusive change we all envision.
Why Join
By joining as a founding member, you step into a model of shared ownership — much like a cooperative — where your contribution sustains and grows the movement. In return, you gain:
✅ A Voice and a Vote in the decisions that shape SGM’s direction
✅ A Global Network of peers driving social, cultural, and ecological transformation
✅ Exclusive Opportunities for learning journeys, mentorship, and collaboration
✅ Community Support that uplifts and amplifies your work
✅ Visibility for your work and organization through SGM’s platforms and global storytelling
This is not just about belonging — it’s about owning the future of our movement together.
