The World Gourmet Summit (WGS) returns this year for its 23rd edition from April 1 to 12 May 2019 in Singapore, and will honour more than just the talents of the culinary world and their groundbreaking gastronomical creations.
In a bid to cultivate an even more eco-conscious society, the annual culinary event, which is themed “Sustainability in the Gastronomy World”, will also feature a series of programmes that aim to raise awareness on food-waste management and the move towards a plastic-free environment.
From educational forums to food markets and sumptuous brunches, here are four event highlights that gourmands can look forward to in the city.
WGS Sustainability Forum
The forum will gather industry experts from the culinary world to discuss the topic of sustainability, from ethical and responsible sourcing to the role each industry stakeholder plays in the mission to implement sustainable practices.
Guest speakers include Dalilah Ghazalay, regional director of US Dairy Export Council’s office in southeast Asia, and Kenny Eng, the director of Gardenasia, a century-old, family-owned horticulture business.
