Who we are

In 2015, Magma UNESCO Global Geopark in Norway, established and strenghten the GEOfood initiative together with other three UNESCO Global Geoparks. Since the very beginning the GEOfood has been characterized by Geopark´s cooperation and mutual exchange of practices in the frame of UNESCO Global Geoparks values and goals. Magma Geopark has been investing in the GEOfood initiative in terms of economical resources and time: from 2018  thanks to the support of all the members  Magma managed to increase the interst around the concept and involve more Geoparks.

Along the years Magma Geopark have got the chance to be supported by many very good professional colleagues across several territories: without their help and support we couldn´t made the GEOfood growing and become a Worldwide recognised initiative.

Since 2020, thanks to the  UNESCO IGCP -International Geoscience Programme Support, Magma Geopark started to cooperate not only with territories which adopted GEOfood brand but also with more Universities, Geoparks, aspiring Geoparks and scientist for streghtening the sceintific background of the GEOfood idea and its connection with the geoscience and to build up innovative tools for its dissemination.

When the project come to an end, Magma Geopark Board decided to change the Geopark´s strategy and to end the GEOfood initiative. The inventor of the concept, Sara Gentilini, together with the former Director of Magma Geopark, Pål Thjømøe, decided that was not time to close it down and they establishd a Company for keeping the cooperation alive. 

GEOfood is now a no-profit Company where the UNESCO Global Geoparks members contributing to its grow and development.
