The 2015 EXPO theme \u201cFeeding the Planet. Energy for Life\u201d is evocative of the role of women, according to Deputy Foreign Minister Marta Dass\u00f9, speaking at the opening of the conference \u201cWomen for Expo, Latin America\u201d at the foreign ministry in Rome. For the first time the EXPO will not be aimed solely at exhibiting something, said Dass\u00f9, as it has been in the past, but will aim to take a concrete \u201cstep forward\u201d \u2013 a step toward truly nourishing the planet.<\/STRONG><\/P> \u201cAgricultural production is greater but food gets lost along the way\u201d<\/STRONG><\/P> In preparation for the EXPO, the conference is divided into two panels: Food Security and Food Safety. The first concerns actual access to food, which UN S-G Ban Ki-moon has defined as a human right. \u201cAgricultural production has grown in comparison with the demographic curve\u201d, the deputy minister underscored, \u201cbut food gets lost along the way\u201d.<\/P> In Milan we will be discussing a series of themes associated with the phenomenon of waste, such as women\u2019s access to credit and land. It is they who \u201chave a major role in the farming sector\u201d of developing countries, \u201cbut who often lack access to the tools that allow them to set up businesses\u201d. The second panel on Food Safety concerns the quality of food and nutritional practices, and the new diseases that are found to be emerging in association with a variety of nutrition-related factors.<\/P> From poor food preservation to over-use<\/STRONG><\/P> Concerns ranging from the poor preservation of food to its over-use have led to the adoption of various labelling systems indicating the provenance and risks associated with the consumption of products. These systems, however, \u201chave a commercial and economic impact at international level\u201d, Dass\u00f9 concluded \u201cbut it is necessary to come up with new, common standards\u201d. <\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The 2015 EXPO theme \u201cFeeding the Planet.
