Feeding Knowledge: ONU per Expo 2015 | eatparade
We live in the age of sharing, the sharing economy. Share is a way to grow. It is the idea of sharing that underlies Feeding Knowledge (FK), the program of Expo 2015 for cooperation in research and innovation on the so-called Food Security developed in collaboration with the Mediterranean Agronomic Institute of Bari (IAMB / CIHEAM) and the Politecnico di Milano.
However, ours is also the century of knowledge and the Internet is the main vehicle.
FK is an online scientific platform designed to create a network of international cooperation designed to facilitate the search for food security. It started from the consideration that the new century, unlike the past, will be characterized by a lack of resources. The big challenge will therefore be to produce as much as possible halving the use and, to win, you need to appeal to the only inexhaustible resource: knowledge.
Feeding Knowledge has two projects: the scientific network International Scientific Network on Food Security and Sustainable Development Best Practices Best Practices. The latter is designed to collect, highlight and raise awareness of projects, services, products, science-based solutions that have obtained the positive effect compared to previous conditions. The United Nations has always been committed to ensuring food security of vulnerable communities, have actively promoted the call among the organizations of the system and participated in numerous projects of development cooperation. Among the 786 proposals were selected 18 best projects: five (one for each thematic area specified in the notice) made in Mongolia, Niger, Guatemala, Tanzania and Italy, will be told in a movie produced by Expo Milano 2015; the other 13 will be best illustrated through photographic stories in Hall Zero.
Feeding the planet first through knowledge of best practices, concrete plans, and actions helpful. We live in a booming population, requiring food accessible to everyone and where food security stands as the main challenge of the future.
