The Municipality of Funchal marked World Food Day with a showcooking initiative held at the Professor Virgílio Pereira Civic Center in Santa Luzia.
During the event, a chickpea soup, a traditional Madeiran dish, was prepared and served. The activity, organized by the association ‘A Biqueira’, was part of the ‘SEMEAR Funchal’ Food Strategy.
The aim was to promote healthy and sustainable eating habits, valuing local products and the island's gastronomic traditions. Councillor for Health, Helena Leal, emphasized the importance of food literacy and raising awareness for conscious choices.
