"In November 2025, the Philippines will make history as host of the first-ever Terra Madre Asia & Pacific (TMAP), the largest sustainable gastronomy event ever staged in the region. From November 19 to 23, Bacolod City, Negros Occidental will welcome thousands of delegates and visitors for a five-day celebration of food biodiversity, cultural traditions, and sustainable food systems."
"Under the theme "From Soil to Sea: A Slow Food Journey Through Tastes and Traditions", Terra Madre Asia & Pacific will bring together farmers, fishers, Indigenous leaders, chefs, academics, youth, and food advocates from more than 20 countries. It is a regional expansion of Terra Madre, the international gathering created by Slow Food, known globally for its biennial Terra Madre Salone del Gusto in Turin, Italy."
"According to Ramon "Chin Chin" Uy Jr., Slow Food Councilor for Southeast Asia, "This is a turning point not just for Slow Food in the Philippines, but for the entire region. Terra Madre Asia & Pacific is a space where grassroots wisdom can shape policy, tradition can spark innovation, and the lived experiences of communities take their rightful place in shaping our global food future.""
Terra Madre Asia & Pacific will take place November 19–23, 2025, in Bacolod City, Negros Occidental as the first regional edition of the international Slow Food gathering. The event centers on the theme "From Soil to Sea: A Slow Food Journey Through Tastes and Traditions" and will highlight food biodiversity, cultural traditions, and sustainable food systems. Around 2,000 delegates are expected from more than 20 countries, alongside thousands of visitors. Farmers, fishers, Indigenous leaders, chefs, academics, youth, and food advocates will convene to share knowledge, celebrate local products, and help influence regional food policy and practice.
