An international review of concepts for optimizing the conservation and management of the gastronomic landscape

This article provides an international overview of approaches to optimizing the conservation and management of the gastronomic landscape as a dynamic socio-ecological system. Contemporary research highlights the combination of locality, diversity, quality, and sustainability as fundamental principles in biosphere management, gastronomic landscapes, and sustainable territorial development. Introduction. International research on the gastronomic landscape demonstrates a shift from perceiving it as a cultural phenomenon to understanding it as an object of strategic management. Methods. Comparative-analytical, systemic, spatial, and conceptual-review approaches were applied to the study of international publications. Results. The following key areas were identified: biosphere stewardship, foodscapes, earth stewardship, sustainable place development, GIS analysis, and the localization of food networks. Conclusions. The gastronomic landscape serves as an effective platform for combining heritage preservation, economic development, and adaptive territorial management.
