Workshops

The workshop explores how to promote and update the Mediterranean Diet—a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage—by making it compatible with modern life and the new frontiers of scientific and technological research.

The laboratory promotes the One Health approach through training and technological innovation, raising awareness amongst stakeholders in the supply chain about soil management as the foundation for healthy and sustainable food production, whilst providing practical tools for the ecological transition.

The workshop brings together design, communication and local manufacturing enterprises to develop new languages and models forbusiness in the agri-food sector, revitalising rural identity through the exchange between different forms of knowledge.

The laboratory supports winegrowers in adopting smart agriculture technologies — from field monitoring to winery optimisation — to combine product quality, resource efficiency and environmental sustainability.

The laboratory bridges the gap between research and wine-producing businesses to promote technological innovation that can be applied to businesses of various sizes, using two concrete examples—the GREASE and VINTES projects—as models of sustainable, locally rooted production.

The workshop reports on the side event organised by Rural Hack as part of the FAO Science and Innovation Forum 2022, which focused on the role of research, universities and local hubs in innovation within the food system, featuring a discussion between various stakeholders aimed at steering the transformation towards sustainable models that respect local communities.

The workshop explores the AGRIMED project and the role of data as a common good in smart agriculture in the Mediterranean region, focusing on how data sharing can generate value for farmers, businesses and local communities.

The workshop describes a co-design workshop organised by a community in a rural setting to develop solutions for agriculture with precision open-source technologies applied to the cultivation of indigenous cereals, integrating open-source hardware, traditional knowledge and participatory genetic improvement.
