Cultivating Global Food Leaders for a Sustainable Future since 2004, founded by Slow Food  🌎 🐌 

**Cultivating Global Food Leaders for a Sustainable Future.**
Nestled within a UNESCO World Heritage site in Pollenzo, Italy, the University of Gastronomic Sciences (UNISG) emerged in 2004 from a visionary restoration of a flood-ravaged historic complex. Founded by Slow Food in cooperation with the Italian region of Piedmont, UNISG is a nonprofit institution dedicated to redefining food as a force for environmental, cultural, and social sustainability. With students and alumni from over 100 countries, we foster a dynamic, international community united by a shared mission: to transform global food systems.

**How We Achieve Our Mission**
UNISG’s innovative approach blends academic rigor with hands-on global immersion. Our students, future food specialists,, entrepreneurs, and policymakers, gain a global vision through:

- **Interdisciplinary Programs:** Degrees in Food Cultures and Sciences, Circular Economy, Food Policy, and more, integrating science, tradition, and sustainability.
- **Study Trips:** Journeys to artisanal farms, industrial producers, and rural communities worldwide, revealing the contrasts and connections in food systems.
- **Research:** Cutting-edge projects in environmental resilience, food quality, and cultural diversity, collaborating with international institutions and grassroots networks like Terra Madre.

**Impact of Your Support**
Every donation fuels our mission to build equitable, sustainable food systems. Your contribution directly enables:

- **Scholarships for Global Talent:** Expanding access for students from low-income regions, ensuring diverse voices shape the future of food.
- **Research Innovation:** Funding projects that pioneer solutions for climate-resilient agriculture, food sovereignty, and ethical supply chains.
- **Community Empowerment:** Strengthening partnerships with small-scale producers and Indigenous communities, preserving biodiversity and traditional knowledge.

**Our Vision Ahead**
UNISG is scaling its commitment to inclusivity and ecological transition. With plans to recruit world-class faculty and triple scholarships by 2030, we aim to equip a new generation of leaders with the tools to drive systemic change. Your support helps us cultivate gastronomes who transform food systems, ensuring a healthier planet and equitable access to nourishment for all.

Join Us: Invest in a future where food systems honor people, cultures, and the Earth. Together, we can turn the page on unsustainable practices and write a new story of resilience and abundance.
