This event will look at food from different perspectives to support sustainable regional development. The objective is to share experiences, discover stories and to identify fields for action which can start now.

Smart City Expo World Congress will be an ideal place to address the many modern aspects of food and policy making, as these are at the crossroad of innovation, sustainability, wellbeing, health and territorial cohesion.
