The official program of the Festival of Food Journalism
Il program of the first Festival of Food Journalism it was officially announced this morning, during the presentation press conference: debates, lectures, case studies, but also a rich calendar of “off” events and educational to discover the excellence and curiosities of the territory.
From 25 27 to February, in the Aula Magna of the Cavallerizza Reale of Turin, there will be many themes to be developed: from that ethical such as waste and the right to food, addressed both from the point of view of economic journalism and from the point of view of the political one, and how communication affects consumer habits, in the choice of whether or not to drink public water, for example, or in the nutritional education of children. Food also in the sense scientific and health care: from the need to recount the progress of research to that of debunking the "hoaxes" and the useless alarmisms, up to the need to promote an informed consumption, especially in the case of wine, one of the products that most represent the roots and the culture of our territory. Then under the magnifying glass there will be the business: from the market trends of the sector in Europe to the growing phenomenon of food crime. Finally, there will be a focus dedicated to "casual" language of those who write about food and different journalisms, in the era of 2.0 food and wine criticism.
Speakers, journalists, food bloggers, companies, institutions, communicators, universities, scientists ... and even a rapper!
