Journal of Gastronomic Sciences

Journal of Gastronomic Sciences

The Journal of Gastronomic Sciences is an editorial project of the University of Pollenzo (CN) which aims at offering an online platform for collecting, sharing and disseminating scientific contributions concerning food, nutrition and “gastronomic sciences” in their holistic, complex and multidisciplinary meaning.

This initiative develops in the light of the current international debate on food that points out the need for a systemic and interconnected approach which involves all disciplines and types of knowledge, both social and human sciences as well as earth and technological ones.

To this end, the journal hosts, on the one hand, the best theses of the University students carried out during their studies (Bachelor’s Degree, Master’s Degree, Masters); on the other hand, academic contributions, articles and essays by professors, research fellows, Ph.D. students and scholars.
