Arctic Food Academy

Closed

The pre-study of the Arctic Food Academy will show whether there are prerequisites and bases for forming a gastronomic competence centre for the development of competence, products and raw materials, and laying the foundations for the development of a Gastronomic Identite. The Helgeland/Västerbotten border region has world-class food products and raw materials from sea, land, forest, lake and mountains. Unfortunately, they are used too little in combination across the border, both in terms of raw materials and products themselves, but also in terms of methods and skills to use them. Through a common competence cluster, we can build up a unique asset of local expertise that provides the conditions for products, methods and menus that are new, exciting and of the highest class. At present, the region has difficulties with the supply of skills, to recruit well-trained staff to the “métiers de bouche” (the gastronomic professions) is very difficult, especially to recruit employees with local competence and anchored in a local Gastronomic Identity.
