From climate change to “nutriscore”, from labels with the “Health Warning” to fake news, from the energy crisis to unfair competition on the markets, to support Italian agri-food in facing these new global challenges arrive the research and international scientific communication on geographical indications, which, from food to wine, no longer represent only the high quality achieved by the DOP and IGP made in Italy productions, but a real economic and social “asset” for our country, which in this regard is a leader in the EU, and where the “DOP Economy”, according to the Ismea-Quallivita Observatory, in 2023 will produce a value close to 20 billion euros.

It does so beginning today and with a long-term strategy, with the “Italy Next DOP - Primo Simposio Scientifico filiere DOP IGP” (First scientific symposium of DOP IGP) on stage today in Rome, promoted by the Qualivita Foundation in collaboration with founding members Origin Italia, CSQA Certifications, Agroquality, Polygraphic, and the state mint.
