The international conference "Food, Law, and Sustainability: Challenges for Safe and Quality Nutrition" will take place on February 14-15, 2025, at the University of Milano-Bicocca.
According to the UN 2030 Agenda goal "Zero Hunger" (SDG 2), a sustainable food system should have the following characteristics: first, reduce the use of pesticides and fertilizers, as well as their environmental dispersion; second, prioritize local food production and short supply chains; third, minimize food waste at all stages of production and consumption; and finally, ensure a rational use of resources.
It is no longer possible to discuss food quality without considering the concept of sustainability in its broadest sense—whether environmental, economic, and/or social. For this reason, the conference aims to address, on one hand, how legal systems interpret the protection of the right to healthy, safe, and sustainable food and how they intervene to develop formal tools aimed at informing consumers while also protecting producers; and, on the other hand, how economic and environmental transformations, as well as technological advancements, impact dietary habits and food systems.
This is the focus of the international conference organized within the framework of the OnFoods project in collaboration with the Best4Food Research Center.
