This is the theme of Taste 15, with presentations and special participations
Respect for resources, food, and the Planet: this will be the theme of the talks and events at Taste 15. This edition of the show has chosen to focus its attention on concrete sustainable experiences linked to production, the environment, and final consumers. The title of the main theme is "Zero Waste: Don’t Waste Food, Don’t Waste the Environment." It will be our contribution to protecting the territory and its products, together with the key players involved in this vital challenge.
Here are some of the events and guests to follow at the Fortezza:

TASTE TALK
Rice that produces environment

TASTE presents the experience of Neorurale, the natural laboratory that provides companies and farm businesses with sustainable solutions to recreate a living and biodiverse ecosystem, to transform the agri-food production chain and the urban suburbs into resources for the cities, becoming environment producers. Cavalieri d'Italia rice was born out of this model, a brand conceived in honor of one of the first bird species to return to nest in the Pavia area, following its renaturalization, which began in 1996. The production operates according to the logic of regeneration, soil protection, savings, and quality for a better present and future for humankind and the planet.
