Per Styregård is a Academy Chair for Scandinavia and Baltics at The World's 50 Best Restaurants. Colleagues describe them as "Per is an excellent public speaker. His contribution to a panel on the circular economy and food systems, part of the Gothenburg Science Festival, was thoughtful, engaging, and full of fresh ideas. His extensive experience in the food, wine, and drinks world has given him a great perspective. Per was able to both identify the sustainability challenges in the food system today, and also share inspiring stories of innovations that are already working to shift towards truly circular food systems based on honoring time and place. His love of food and drink is tangible when he talks about how to eat ramen with love, or how "ideas can travel, but produce doesn't need to" - such as using local Swedish grains to create dishes of character to replace rice imported long distances. I highly recommend Per as a keynote or panel speaker!"
