The City of Turin with the Festival to promote food health

The City of Turin will be partner of the Food Journalism Festival with the printing of a publication, edited by the Veronesi Foundation: “Nutrition and health. The scientific answers to frequently asked questions ".

The book scientifically addresses the FAQs that today invest the great combination of food and well-being, providing simple answers for citizens.

The city has been in the field for years and on several fronts with inter-council projects, initiatives and policies related to the themes of nutrition and food education. For example, the city promotes the culture of healthy eating and obesity in schools, with a menu designed specifically for nursery schools, kindergartens, primary and secondary schools of first and second grade, with differentiations for children and students with health problems or who for religious reasons cannot eat certain foods.

The right to food has entered the Statute of the City of Turin, thus giving the right evidence and the right dignity to a right already guaranteed in a consolidated way for some time, against waste and for the reduction of imbalances among the population. And the presence of several urban gardens in the city is also a solution to fight hunger and promote the cultivation of fruit and vegetables.
