The cycle of events that accompanies
Italy's path towards Expo 2025 Osaka continues. The General
Commissioner for Italy, Mario Vattani, participated in Japan at
the International Symposium 'Smart Food and Nutraceuticals', one
of the key events to present the themes related to health and
nutraceuticals that Italy will bring to the next Universal
Exhibition. The event, which brought together international
experts, academics and representatives of the food industry at
the Kyoto Shinkin Bank, offered an important opportunity to
delve into innovation in the smart food and nutraceutical
sectors.
"The Smart Food and Nutraceuticals Symposium represents an
important opportunity for discussion on the topics of longevity,
nutrition and the new frontiers of scientific research. The
Italy Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka will offer a unique
opportunity to enhance our universities and innovative projects
dedicated to food and health. It will be a space to identify
common solutions to the great challenges of our societies, such
as the aging of the population, a reality that unites both
countries," underlined Ambassador Vattani. "Italy and Japan also
share a great attention to the quality of food, its nutritional
aspects and production chains. This approach can strengthen
Italian scientific diplomacy in the world and promote new
collaborations, in line with the theme of Expo: Designing the
society of the future for our lives."
"Italy and Japan share the highest life expectancy in the world,
a favorable circumstance that is largely a consequence of their
respective dietary habits," said Giuseppe Pezzotti,
Distinguished Professor and Director of the Biomedical
Engineering Center of the Kansai Medical University. "Longevity
observed on a molecular scale can be linked to the chemistry of
foods and, in particular, to their effect on the intestinal and
oral flora. This Symposium aims to shed light on this important
aspect of our daily habits, in order to provide a scientific
basis for the nutraceutical aspects that support our quality of
life."
This event represents a further step forward in the preparation
process for the Universal Exhibition, reinforcing the message of
Italy as the protagonist of a new food revolution capable of
combining tradition, innovation and sustainability.
