(ANSA) - ROME, FEB 15 - Italy's new food system, which is increasingly oriented towards sustainability and innovation, was the focus of the Innovation Talk "The future of the Italian food system between innovation, safety and sustainability: organic food and more", at the Italian pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai.
    The initiative - organized in partnership with ITA - located between the Italy Pavilion and Gulfood 2022, is the international event on the future of food running in Dubai until 17 February.
    The debate focuses on the way Italian companies are adjusting to the new trend in which organic food is at the core of the production process and increasingly connected to health, sustainability, and the creation of long-term value for the sector.
    Among those participating were Paolo Glisenti, the Italian Commissioner General for Expo 2020 Dubai; Savino Muraglia of the Coldiretti National Council; Roberta Gabrielli, Project Manager for the think tank Nomisma; Oscar Farinetti, the President of Eataly; Mattia Adani, CEO of Nowalchimica; Francesco Rossi Ferrini, CEO of Il Torriano; and Nicola Lener, Italian Ambassador to the United Arab Emirates.
    "This is a systemic and institutional presence strongly desired by the Lombardy Regional Government," said Fiera Milano, "which has offered the Innovation Lab, an ad hoc space designed for the six months of the Expo and which will see encounters with the ambassador and all the Italian institutions".
