This study is based on the university's interest in promoting activities that strengthen sustainable and inclusive economic growth and decent employment. These activities are based on the revaluation of gastronomic heritage as a driver of sustainable tourism development. In this case, the setting is the Campiña de Moche (Moche Countryside), in the province of Trujillo, La Libertad region, Peru. The general objective was to analyze the scientific evidence on how gastronomic revaluation contributes to the sustainable development of tourist destinations and cultural landscapes such as the Moche Countryside. A systematic review under the PRISMA protocol was used, with inclusion criteria such as articles published in the years 2020-2024, databases (Scopus, Scielo and Web of Science), keywords, thematic focus and research designs and language. The study population included research that explored the relationship of gastronomic heritage, sustainable tourism and rural development. The main results showed that local gastronomy strengthens cultural identity, increases tourist satisfaction and promotes social cohesion. It was concluded that the integration of public policies and innovation in gastronomic products are key to maximizing the impact of sustainable tourism in culturally rich destinations such as Moche.
