From Thursday, October 23 to Sunday, October 27, the world of quality food can be found at the LingottoFiere in Turin for the tenth edition of the Salone del Gusto and Terra Madre , the famous event created by Slow Food and organized in conjunction with the Piedmont Region and the City of Turin and in collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Forestry. Italian excellence: in ten years, the event in Turin has become a point of reference for those in the world who are interested in quality food and the people who produce it. The theme of the Fair this year will be family farming, for which this year’s FAO World Food Day has been dedicated to. Great importance is also given to the Arcadel Gusto, an initiative designed to save and retrieve quality foods at risk of extinction. As in every year, parallel to the Salonedel Gusto, there will be Terra Madre: a global meeting point for all those manufacturers who put primary emphasis on quality, environmental sustainability, and support for small communities.
