Terra Madre -Salone del Gusto
Terra Madre – Salone del Gusto restoring our place in the future!
As we all know this is not a cheese festival – it´s the biggest and most important international food event. In 2018 Salone del Gusto welcomed more than 200.000 visitor from all over the world and its dedication is to good, clean and fair food.
This year´s approach of Terra Madre is how food can restore our place in the future.
Food is our most important link between nature and culture: Slow Food, through Terra Madre, aims to show a way forward, to light a new path toward a healthier relationship with nature, through food. Our food reconnects us to the land, the soil, the sea, but it is also an integral part of our identities, our pleasure. It’s the perfect tool to reshape the bond between nature and culture.
