The 10th International Food and Nutrition Forum to Be Published

The Barilla Centre for Food & Nutrition (BCFN), established to analyse global food and nutrition issues, will hold its 10th International Food & Nutrition Forum on 3 December 2019 in Milan.

The event will address the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set in the United Nations 2030 agenda and the Paris Climate Change Agreement signed in 2015, and will share details of food models that respect the health of people and the planet. It will bring together food experts, scientists, thought leaders, activists, company representatives and young talents from around the world.

How can we enable radical transformation towards the sustainability of agricultural food systems and nutrition habits?

The forum will host panel discussions on issues such as "How can stakeholder actions and strategies be integrated into the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals?" and will provide a platform for discussion of global and local food issues. Leading figures from stakeholder institutions including the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network (UN SDSN), the Centre for European Policy Studies (CEPS), and National Geographic will share solutions to sustainability challenges. In addition to panel sessions titled 'Food Education', 'Digitalisation in Agricultural Food', 'Food and Cities', 'Farmers of the Future', 'Soil Protection' and 'Improving the Food Sector', the panel session 'Food and Climate Change' will also discuss the findings of the report published by the International Panel on Climate Change in August. The two-day forum will address food, nutrition, food sustainability, food systems, and food and climate-related migration issues, and can also be followed live online.
