ColtivaTo: International Agriculture Festival - 1st edition

From March 31 to April 2, 2023, the first edition of the International Festival of Agriculture will be held in Turin, Italy: three days of meetings, lectures, debates, round tables, guided tours, interviews, performances and concerts to tell the story of agriculture in a major scientific-dissemination event. The Festival aims to talk about the "real" agriculture, which is often different from the imagined, bucolic agriculture, in a rigorous way, based on facts and figures, from a point of view of economics and labor, innovation, science and technology, without forgetting climate change and sustainability, which are closely (inter)connected to agriculture. All of this is done with a critical but open spirit, addressing a heterogeneous audience and flanking strictly scientific events, such as seminars, interviews and purely informative moments, such as concerts and theatrical performances, guided tours, meetings between young people and entrepreneurs.
