The “Feeding the City, Nurturing the Community” conference will begin Friday afternoon at Palazzo Geremia and continue Saturday morning, focusing on the value of food policies. 
In conjunction with the Mostra dell'Agricoltura - Agriculture Show, 15 and 16 March 2025, inside the pavilions in Via Briamasco (the historic location of the Mostra dell'Agricoltura) on both days special attention will be given to the farmers' market: a space dedicated to the sale of agricultural products that can be purchased directly from local producers, with a series of workshops and demonstrations for adults and children organised by the Associations of the Territory (Donne in Campo Trentino, AGIA - Associazione Giovani Imprenditori Agricoli Trentino, CIA - Agricoltori Italiani Trentino, Coldiretti - Campagna Amica - Donne Impresa - Slow Food - Confagricoltura).
Some side events will enrich the guests of Bio-Logica with new experiences by taking part in a real cooking class with the products purchased at the market, or through didactic workshops proposed by the Muse or by visiting some agricultural and/or social cooperatives in our territory.
