2023國際永續飲食交流論壇．在英國SRA眼中的永續飲食｜會後報導｜The Sustainable Restaurant Association's Trip to Taiwan

2023年3月14日，台灣的綠色餐飲指南（GDG）與英國永續餐廳協會（Sustainable Food Restaurant Association, SRA），進行首次的綠色餐飲國際交流論壇，由SRA的董事總經理Juliane Caillouette-Noble來到台北共襄盛舉。
In the first assembly of its kind, on March 14th, 2023, the Green Dining Guide (GDG) Taiwan welcomed The Sustainable Food Restaurant Association from the UK to Taipei. Juliane Caillouette-Noble, the CEO of SRA, came to Taipei to attend the International Sustainable Dining Conference.

在交流會上，Juliane與GDG的共同創辦人黃俊誠正式簽署合作備忘錄，宣布「綠色餐飲指南GDG」將成為SRA的Food Made Good全球評鑑指標在台灣的官方代表機構。此外，綠色餐飲指南的葉級餐廳評鑑直接認可等同於Food Made Good的星級評鑑標準。現在，台灣所有通過綠色餐飲指南葉級評鑑的餐廳經營者，都將被英國永續餐廳協會（SRA）的Food Made Good國際標準所認可，成為全球永續餐廳地圖上一萬五千多個永續餐廳的地標。
At the conference, Juliane signed a Memorandum of Understanding with GDG's co-founder, Huang Jun-Cheng. It was announced officially that the Green Dining Guide will be the representative agency of SRA’s Food Made Good sustainability standard in Taiwan. In addition, The Green Dining Guide’s leaf-level restaurant evaluation index will be recognised as equivalent to the Food Made Good star evaluation. Now, all restaurant operators in Taiwan who have joined the Green Restaurant Guide leaf-level evaluation will be recognized by the Food Made Good international standard of the British Sustainable Restaurant Association (SRA), and together will join more than 15,000 sustainable restaurants on the global sustainable restaurant map.

在論壇過程中，我們聽到了來自各界環保組織，如台灣動物社會研究會（Environmental and Animal Society of Taiwan , EAST），他們簡述了聯合國目前的永續發展目標，並針對中小企業如何展開與國際永續發展目標一致的行動提出了建議。另外還有臺灣海洋保育與漁業永續基金會，他們著重於介紹如何識別永續海鮮，並將其納入餐廳供應鏈。隨後，由一些已經加入GDG、響應綠食宣言運動的現有綠色餐廳成員提供了綠色午餐。
Throughout the conference, we heard from environmental food organizations such as EAST (The Environmental and Animal Society of Taiwan) who outlined the UN’s current Sustainable Development and gave suggestions to small businesses on how they can work to align their supply chain practices with international sustainability goals. We also heard from Taiwan Fishery Foundation who focused on how to identify most green seafood and incorporate it into your restaurant supply chain. A Green Lunch was then served by a number of GDG’s current members who have already received sustainability accreditations.

活動結束後我們採訪了Juliane，想聽聽她的看法，關於台灣和英國的綠色餐廳之間的差異。此外，也詢問她是否有任何給GDG的建議，以幫助我們進一步發展我們的綠色餐廳生態圈。
Speaking to Juliane after the conference, we were keen to hear her perspective on the differences between Taiwan’s green restaurant network and the sustainable restaurant work taking place in the UK. We also asked if she had any advice to give to GDG to help us further develop our green restaurant network.

您認為目前台灣和英國的綠色餐廳網路的主要區別是什麼？
What do you think currently are the main differences between Taiwan and the UK’s green sustainable restaurant network?

英國的綠色餐廳市場已經相當成熟。單單在英國，就有超過8,000個據點已經參與了SRA和我們的Food Made Good倡議。事實上，當談到淨零排放目標時，許多英國的特許經營店被認為是其行業的領導者，英國餐飲業整體上已經對淨零排放協議做出了大量承諾。此外，必須指出的是，英國的SRA已經與一些著名的名字聯繫在一起，例如，廚師傑米．奧利佛（Jamie Oliver）和英國國家食品戰略的作者亨利．丁布爾比（Henry Dimbleby）等。這有助於為正在進行的工作提供當地的可信度。
The UK sustainable restaurant market is already quite mature. In the UK alone, there are over 8,000 sights already involved with SRA and our Food Made Good iniative. In fact, many UK-based franchises are considered leaders of their industry when it comes to the transition to net-zero emissions. And indeed, there is already a large commitment in the UK restaurant industry on the whole to the net-zero emissions pact. Whatsmore, it must be noted that the SRA in the UK is already associated with a number of prestigious names, for example the chef Jamie Oliver and Henry Dimbleby, author of the UK’s National Food Strategy. This helps to provide local credibility to the work that is being done. 

台灣綠色餐飲指南的共同創辦人黃俊誠表示同意。他認為，目前台灣綠色餐飲面臨的最大問題是消費者的行為和意識。俊誠說：「很多台灣人在關注食物的時候還是會優先考慮便利性和較低的價錢，但『永續飲食』的教育正在緩慢而溫和地影響著公眾對飲食的想法，開始改變購買行為和外出就餐的選擇，並逐漸將他們的注意力轉向有機、環保的動植物食品，說服他們選擇在這些綠色餐廳用餐。」
Jung cheng, Director of The Taiwan Green Dining Guide agreed. Maintaining that, right now, the biggest problem Green Dining Taiwan is up against is consumer behaviour and awareness. Jung Cheng said “Many Taiwanese people will still give priority to convenience and cheapness when they pay attention to food. The “sustainable diet” education is slowly and gently influencing the public’s thoughts on sustainable diets, gradually changing purchasing behaviors and eating out choices, and gradually turning their attention to organic, environmentally friendly plant and animal foods, and persuading them to choose to eat in these green restaurants.”

您認為英國和台灣的食品系統中，目前影響可持續發展目標的主要結構性差異是什麼？
What do you think are the key structural differences between the UK and Taiwan’s food systems which are currently impacting sustainability goals?

在食品和永續海鮮方面，由於在台灣取得經過國際永續標準驗證的動物產品相對困難，許多肉類產品仍然從國外進口，這意味著食品的里程數相對較高。在某些方面，這使得台灣的永續食品供應鏈比英國的更具挑戰性。
In terms of food and sustainable seafood, because it is relatively difficult to obtain animal products that have been verified by international sustainability standards in Taiwan, many meat products are still imported from abroad, meaning the food mileage is relatively high. In some respects, this makes Taiwan’s sustainable food supply chain more challenging then the UK's.

綠媒體的何佳穎也表示，「我們也希望能教育更多的餐廳如何根據動物福利和永續海鮮的標準來選擇動物原料。在2023年，所有綠色餐廳都將使用非籠飼雞蛋，這是我們的下一步。」Juliane還解釋說，在英國境內，連鎖餐廳的營業額佔了80%，但連鎖餐廳數量只佔市場的20%，意味著連鎖店在英國國內有很大的支配性壟斷力量。
Chayin from Green Media also commented that “we also hope to educate more restaurants about how to choose animal ingredients based on the standards of animal welfare and sustainable seafood. In 2023, all green restaurants in GDG will use cage-free eggs. This is our next step.”
Juliane also explained that within the UK, 80% of supply chain spend in England is coming from chain restaurants, but chains make up only 20% of the market. Meaning chains have a large dominant monopoly power inside the UK.

在台灣的額外活動
Extra Activites in Taiwan

雖然他們的行程很短，但SRA的代表們也品嚐到了台北的一些綠色餐廳。週一晚上，Sophie和Juliane被帶到了位於松山的米其林星級素食餐廳，這家餐廳以其對傳統台灣素食菜餚的全新演繹而聞名。在那裡，他們有機會品嚐到許多當地的美味，包括松露醬黑豆芽、素肉製的宮保雞丁和非常受歡迎的當地菜餚——臭豆腐。週二晚上，他們被帶到了另一家綠色餐廳，位於台北大安區的東雅小廚。在這裡，SRA的代表們品嚐了當地的燉牛肉、花生芽、上海飯以及其他美食。
Although their trip was brief, the SRA representatives also got to sample a handful of the Green restaurants Taipei has to offer. On Monday night Sophie and Juliane were taken to Michelin star rated vegan restaurant in Songshan called Serenity Vegan, known for its fresh take on traditional Taiwanese vegetarian dishes. There they had the opportunity to sample many local delights including black bean sprouts in truffle sauce, replacement meat kung pao chicken and the very popular local dish- stinky tofu. On Tuesday evening they were taken to another Green Dining partner restaurant called Dong Yea in Daan district of Taipei. Here the SRA representatives sampled local beef stew, shanghai rice and peanut sports alongside other treats.

GDG團隊帶領SRA代表們品嘗台灣的綠色餐廳。

隔天，作為SRA貴客回國前的最後一部分行程，GDG團隊帶他們參觀了電子遊戲公司「Gamania遊戲橘子」，品嚐了他們具永續性的米其林星級員工食堂。這次拜訪非常成功，讓SRA看到目前台灣的一些不錯的實踐案例，包括在名為「普橘島」的公司食堂為所有Gamania員工提供的健康永續午餐。
On Wednesday, as part of a final visit before the SRA guests returned home, the group paid a visit to Gamania, a digital online company to sample their sustainable, Michelin star staff canteen. This visit was a huge success and allowed for the SRA to see some of the best practice examples that Taiwan currently has to offer, including a subsidized healthy and sustainable lunch for all Gamania staff in Gamania Island, company canteen.

總的來說，這是一個與GDG的英國夥伴會面的絕佳機會，他們為使我們的全球餐飲系統更加永續，對人類和地球更加友善而進行著同樣的努力。非常感謝英國的代表，我們期待著你們的再次訪問。
Overall, it was a fantastic opportunity to meet with GDG’s UK counterparts, fighting the same fight to make our global food system more sustainable, better for people and the planet. Many thanks to the UK representatives, we look forward to your return visit.
