  What is the Ark of Taste?
  The Ark of Taste is the world’s largest catalog of cultural and traditional biodiversity related to food and agriculture. We have identified thousands of plant varieties, animal breeds and traditional food products (including breads, cheeses, cured meats and sweets), highlighting the risk of their disappearance, saving them from extinction, and educating institutions and consumers about the need to protect them.
  What We Do
  Preserve food knowledge by cataloging native products.
  Support small scale producers to save their heritage and food culture.
  Enhance the use of these products by connecting producers with cooks and consumers.
  Promote food diversity by reconnecting communities with their legacy.
  Share the stories of products, producers and places through films, publications, articles, conferences and more.
