Patrizio Roversi at the Festival moderates the panel on the "novel food"

Patrizio Roversi back to Festival of Food Journalism. The popular TV host, who from the 2013 is driving the Green Line broadcast, will moderate the "Novel food: are we ready to communicate new foods?" Panel, scheduled for 23 on Friday at 12,10. The novel food is a very topical subject, considering that the 1 ° January came into force the European directive that "clears" a series of foods so far off-limits, for example algae and insects.

But when crickets, grasshoppers and centipedes arrive at the table, it is important to ask whether the world of information is ready to talk about it with a sense of responsibility. The theme is more complex than it seems, also because we are not just talking about the very "news" insects: debate also concerns meat produced in the laboratory, one of the frontiers of the avant-garde food industry. In short, the Festival will be an important opportunity for reflection also from this point of view.
