The second From Seeds to Foods exhibition opened at Rome’s Circus Maximus on October 8. FAO reports more than 300 exhibitors from over 140 countries, with workshops, discussions and activities exploring food systems. [1]
Entry is free. The dedicated visitor page lists opening from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on October 8–11 and from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on October 12. The final day therefore has shorter hours than the opening release’s general schedule suggests. [2]
The bright side
The event brings people and knowledge from the food system into a public setting that visitors can access free of charge. [1][2]
One idea, in simple words
Food passes through many stages before reaching the table. A free exhibition at Rome’s Circus Maximus invites people to explore them. It is called From Seeds to Foods and opened on October 8. FAO offers discussions and activities for children and families too. Imagine, in this example from the editors, following a tomato from a farm to a market. [1]
The exhibition invites questions about the people and work behind food. If you plan to visit, check the event page: opening is from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on October 8–11, but it closes at 1 p.m. on October 12. This is a useful small exercise. Even when two pages describe the same event, the dedicated visitor page may provide the more precise practical details. [2]
