I wanted to underline the cultural value of food since I strongly believe that the locally produced food is expression of the culture of a place, of its people; it’s the extraordinary outcome of the evolution, knowledge, traditions and resources of a territory.
In the globalized world of great food distribution, local food is put more and more on the boarder by the consumption of food that has no geographical and cultural connotation, food that becomes blended and indistinct for its lack of authenticity and diversity. Local, authentic food is identity and culture.
