“Food is taste, tradition, history and culture, imagination, but not only: it is a fundamental economic factor, a geopolitical element, an extraordinary engine of change.
It must be known and studied

a campaign to ask the government and Parliament to include food education
from compulsory schools to university

at macroeconomic data and the enormous impact that food has on world economy
, the environment, migration, social systems. Not just a lifestyle,
but a strategic asset for the state
