As a candidate,&nbsp;\u015eanl\u0131urfa&nbsp;is committed to working alongside other regions to promote sustainable food systems, strengthen local value chains, support food education, empower youth, and position gastronomy as a tool for intercultural dialogue and inclusive development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The candidacy was formally announced at a special launch event in Tersane Istanbul, attended by&nbsp;<strong>\u015eanl\u0131urfa&nbsp;Metropolitan Municipality<\/strong><strong>Mayor Mehmet Kas\u0131m G\u00fclp\u0131nar<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Istanbul<\/strong><strong>Governor Davut G\u00fcl<\/strong>, local&nbsp;<strong>IGCAT Expert Ufuk Ke\u015fo\u011flu<\/strong>, and leading figures from gastronomy, business, and media. The evening began with a performance by&nbsp;<strong>Vox Humanis,<\/strong>&nbsp;a polyphonic choir from&nbsp;\u015eanl\u0131urfa, whose repertoire blends Anatolia\u2019s multicultural musical heritage with Western choral tradition, reflecting the region\u2019s identity as a UNESCO City of Music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mayor Mehmet Kas\u0131m G\u00fclp\u0131nar<\/strong>&nbsp;framed the candidacy not just as an application, but as a celebration of&nbsp;<strong>\u015eanl\u0131urfa\u2019s unparalleled culinary legacy<\/strong>, one that stretches back 12,000 years and is shaped by historic landmarks like G\u00f6beklitepe. He described the region\u2019s gastronomy as a living link between land, tradition, and community, embodied in its culture of generosity and shared heritage, exemplified by the \u201cHalil \u0130brahim Table\u201d tradition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This candidacy reflects a culinary heritage forged over millennia, blending agricultural innovation, diverse landscapes, and deep-rooted traditions. From the domestication of wheat to the legacy of archaeological sites like G\u00f6beklitepe and Karahantepe,&nbsp;\u015eanl\u0131urfa\u2019s gastronomy transcends taste, it is a narrative of memory, identity, and connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A strong collaborative network supports this bid, uniting&nbsp;<strong>Harran University<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>local municipalities,<\/strong><strong>GAP Administration<\/strong>, the&nbsp;<strong>\u015eanl\u0131urfa&nbsp;Chamber of Commerce<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Slow Food T\u00fcrkiye,&nbsp;<\/strong>and<strong>&nbsp;Bureau Gastronomica<\/strong>. Together, they are working to revive forgotten dishes, document traditional recipes, and empower local producers by preserving ancestral seeds, ensuring gastronomy remains both a cultural cornerstone and a driver of sustainable development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By joining the World Region of Gastronomy Platform,&nbsp;\u015eanl\u0131urfa&nbsp;signals a forward-looking vision that values gastronomy not only as heritage but as a living system capable of addressing contemporary challenges. The 2029 candidacy offers an international stage to showcase the local rich food culture, creativity, and commitment to shaping resilient, inclusive, and future-oriented food systems, while strengthening cooperation across institutions, communities, and the gastronomic sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>About the World\/European Regions of Gastronomy<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldregionofgastronomy.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">World Regions of Gastronomy<\/a>, and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.europeanregionofgastronomy.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">European Regions of Gastronomy<\/a>, guided by&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/igcat.org\/\">IGCAT<\/a>, are working together to strengthen food security through the celebration of distinctive food cultures; create employment by stimulating creativity and gastronomic innovation; nourish children and adults through culinary and cultural education; driving environmental sustainability in tourism, hospitality and agricultural sectors; supporting balance and sustainable tourism practices; highlighting and supporting expertise from within rural and urban communities, creating connections and sharing good practices; and contributing to community health and well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>About IGCAT<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>International Institute of Gastronomy, Culture, Arts and Tourism (<a href=\"https:\/\/igcat.org\/\">IGCAT<\/a>) aims to&nbsp;<strong>empower local communities<\/strong>&nbsp;by raising awareness of the importance of protecting and promoting distinct regional food, culture, arts and natural assets as part of sustainable and balanced tourism and development strategies.
