About the event
2019 World Food Law Symposium - Geographical Indications and Gastro-Tourism: Possibilities for Local Development
The World Food Law Institute (WFLI) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) invite you to the 2019 World Food Law Symposium featuring trends and case studies examining possibilities for local development when GIs are combined with gastro-tourism. A GI, a form of intellectual property, identifies a good as originating in a territory, region or locality where a quality, reputation or other characteristic of the good is “essentially attributable to its geographical origin”. Gastro-tourism together with GIs provide a valuable opportunity for using a combination of local foods and tourism to preserve food heritage and sustainable livelihoods. This year’s World Food Law Symposium will explore this potentially beneficial link.
