Hana Hrstková: “A Biocyclic Vegan Approach Is Not Just an Option—It’s a Necessity”

Hana Hrstková, a Prague-based vegan chef and gastronomy strategist, advocates for a biocyclic vegan approach to food production for the sake of human health and environmental sustainability. She integrates principles of organic farming, zero waste management, and biocyclic vegan agriculture, which eliminates all animal-derived inputs while regenerating soil health. Hrstková emphasizes the connection between soil, the environment, and human well-being as crucial for the future of food.

At the upcoming Biofach trade fair, Hrstková will showcase plant-based culinary innovation and biocyclic vegan ingredients to drive a more sustainable and ethical food system. She believes that a plant-based diet is essential for planetary health and that biocyclic vegan farming is central to achieving a regenerative agricultural system. By promoting fully plant-based dishes in restaurants and equipping chefs with the knowledge and tools to create them, Hrstková hopes to inspire positive change and redefine humanity's relationship with the planet.
