ABSTRACT
The 2030 United Nation Agenda for Sustainable Development such as the European Green Deal and the Farm to Fork strategy stress the emergency of a radical change in food production: we have to reduce greenhouses gases and water consumption, preserve biodiversity and promote circular economy for a shapely, safe and economic growth of the Planet resources and ensure food for all.
To support Italian small and medium-size farms in their ecological transition, the Sustainable Food Design Hub (SFD Hub) was founded by a group of researches in November 2021 at the Research Centre for Food and Nutrition. The main SFD Hub’s goal are: a) to improve sustainability and food quality of Italian food products, involving farmers in projects with a transdisciplinary approach; b) to increase both producers and consumers knowledge/awareness on issues such as food sustainability; c) to raise awareness among the new generations on topics as mandatory as the sustainable food choices.
