摘要：The study analyzes the role of traditional dishes, food products and customs related to their production and consumption in relation to the sustainable development of rural areas. Traditional food is usually created on the basis of environmentally-friendly methods. The revitalization of culinary traditions contributes to the harmonious development of rural areas: it activates the local community, creates new sources of income, strengthens cultural identity and increases the tourist attractiveness of the regions. The concept of sustainable development, understood as a harmonious interaction of economic, social and natural systems, aims to achieve contemporary benefits for future generations. The search for and implementation of various activities in rural areas can stop negative demographic and social processes through multi-functional rural development using regional and traditional products.
