The Province of Lodi planned it with the aim to pass the rules of a correct feeding and the knowledge of the agroindustrial sector. In fact, the Provincial Executive approved the Plan of Food Communication and Training for the activity period between September 2007 and August 2008. This Plan takes part in the Regional Plan “Food Communication and Training”, but it is characterized for its will to spread a more general knowledge that concerns the Lodigiano territory and its rural inclination.
The appointed Member of the Provincial Executive for Agriculture Fabrizio Santantonio says: “Our aim is to tell about our typical local products and the sources of their production: a narration that goes further on the nourishment: it extends on a representation of the territory in a cultural and socioeconomic key. For this reason, we tried to combine the supply of informations for the students about the agriculture of Lodi with an increase of the consciousness of them as consumers. We will use a communication based on an active learning, realised directly in the backgrounds as farms and transformation installations. Here the production processes under the guidance of qualified and careful organisers”.
