Overview
COURSE DESCRIPTIONGoodness, healthiness, research, innovation and sustainability are the ingredients of a fascinating cocktail: Italian food 4.0. What is that? "New" Italian food products, such as the many exotic fruits that thanks to the climate are becoming "typical" in Italy (avocado, mango…have ever you tasted them?), or the very varied foods created in the laboratory by "copying" nature (bee bread, plant based foods, many special fermented foods); but also food waste that live a second life: pomace which becomes cosmetics of the highest quality, orange fibres that are transformed into fabrics and flour obtained from spent brewer’s grain. Together we will discover everything there is behind these products: research and very particular technological innovations. We will taste foods we will understand how to integrate our diets to improve them. We will understand the meaning of the word sustainability.
