The Friuli Venezia Giulia model

The Forum is organised in collaboration with PromoTurismoFVG and the Regional Agency for Rural Development of Friuli Venezia Giulia (ERSA), local authorities of Friuli Venezia Giulia, a Region in the North-East of Italy that offers plenty of delicacies, gourmet food and wines with a long tradition. The event will offer the unique opportunity to meet the main players of the regional agri-food chain and discuss together today's challenges. 

The event will be participated by the stakeholders and main economic actors of the regional and national agri-food industry and the food and wine tourism sector. The Forum is aimed at defining a common vision for the development of the Italian and regional agri-food chain that combines environmental, economic and social sustainability within production, distribution, consumption, and tourism.

It will also be presented a new strategic study carried out by The European House - Ambrosetti for PromoTurismoFVG and ERSA, a document of strategic orientation that quantifies the value generated by the agri-food chain of Friuli Venezia Giulia, and gives a picture of Italian and foreign consumers' perception towards the local agri-food products.
