La Fondation s’est donné pour mission de défendre le bien-manger et le plaisir du goût. Ses projets visent à valoriser une alimentation durable, favorable à la biodiversité, issue de produits de proximité, en respect de la saisonnalité. Ses actions comprennent l’importance de la convivialité, engagent une éducation au goût dès le plus jeune âge et impliquent la transmission du savoir-faire artisanal, en particulier issu du patrimoine culinaire suisse, dans la perspective d’une souveraineté alimentaire. Notre Fondation, d’utilité publique et sans but lucratif, réunit divers projets qui mettent en œuvre ses objectifs et notamment: la Semaine suisse du Goût, les Grands Sites du Goût, le Swiss Wine Tour et le Mérite culinaire suisse. Die Stiftung hat sich zur Mission gemacht, das gute Essen und die Freude am Geschmack zu verteidigen. Ihre Projekte zielen darauf ab, eine nachhaltige Ernährung zu fördern, die aus regionalen Produkten stammt, die biologische Vielfalt stärkt und die Saisonalität respektiert. In Ihren Aktionen hat die Geselligkeit, sowie die Sensibilisierung und Erziehung des Geschmacks bereits im Kindesalter, einen grossen Stellewert. Sie beinhalten auch die Weitergabe von handwerklichem Know-How, insbesondere aus dem kulinarischen Erbe der Schweiz, im Hinblick auf die Ernährungssouveränität. Um diese Ziele umzusetzen, vereint unsere gemeinnützige und nicht gewinnorientierte Stiftung verschiedene Projekte, insbesondere: die Schweizer Genusswoche, die Kulinarische Genussorte, die Swiss Wine Tour und die Kulinarischen Meriten Schweiz.
