We maintain an unwavering dedication to intellectual pursuit and the generation of original thought. Constantly challenging established paradigms, we foster an environment that encourages innovative thinking.

Our society respects the vast dimensions of identity, including culture, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, physical abilities, religious beliefs, and political leanings. We endeavor to weave this variety of perspectives into our explorations of food and its associated systems.

We cultivate a setting conducive to cooperation, valuing the free exchange of ideas. Open, respectful communication serves as the foundation for our pursuit of understanding and problem-solving.

We staunchly uphold the highest ethical standards, promoting honesty, transparency, and accountability across all ventures. Professionalism is insisted upon within both our academic engagements and business affairs.

Our unwavering commitment to the sustainability of food systems is paramount. We fervently promote practices that safeguard and augment Earth's resources for future generations. This commitment is manifest through the preservation of Indigenous wisdom, in addition to advocating for sustainable research and technology.

We value the contributions of local food cultures and Indigenous communities. We encourage the inclusion of this wisdom within the academic discourse surrounding gastronomic science.
