This literature review investigates some of the dynamics underlying the heritagisation of food and explores the risks of this process.

It sheds light on the need to pay more attention to the factors, actors, and relationships underpinning the emergence and recognition of food and food-related elements as part of the local heritage.https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/13/17/9510food heritageheritagisationsocial and cultural sustainabilityliterature review |

Overall, it aims to shed light on the strengths and limitations of food heritagisation regarding the improvement of the socio-cultural sustainability of the food system. The analysis highlights cross-cutting risks, namely the omission of tangible and intangible elements of the local food system, and the exclusion of key stakeholders from the recognition and institutionalisation of food heritage.
