Foods that change the world: Heritage Bitto, the perennial cheese

The stories of the protagonists of the Salone del Gusto e terra Madre 2012 tell us how you can change the paradigm that regulates this world in crisis starting with food. And shows that we can do something good for our health, environment and production system without giving up the pleasures of food and conviviality. This is why we have chosen “Foods that change the world” as our slogan for this edition. A revolutionary project that requires, however, a new way of thinking: we provide the food, you provide the ideas!
