As part of the eighth annual Week of Italian Cuisine in the World, the Embassy of Italy in Washington hosted the workshop ‘Sustainability efforts of the swine meat products and olive oil industries, key ingredients of the Italian table,’ organized in collaboration with the American Italian Food Coalition, yesterday.

“Sustainable agriculture implies the search for a delicate balance between meeting today’s needs and preserving our planet for the future. Innovation and new technologies are effective tools for identifying new solutions, working together beyond borders and divisions between sectors.” With these words, Ambassador Mariangela Zappia opened the workshop.
