Unlike many traditional gastronomic festivals, which focus solely on showcasing dishes, CU PEȘTELE'N BUCATE places a strong emphasis on sustainability. The festival prioritizes the use of local, responsibly sourced ingredients from the Prut River area, ensuring the preservation of local fish species and the sustainable management of the river’s ecosystems. Additionally, the festival adopts a circular economy approach by incorporating waste reduction strategies, including recycling, composting, and minimizing food waste. It challenges the typical model of mass consumption at events and showcases a sustainable, eco-friendly way of organizing a large-scale food event.
