On 13 April 2015 the European Commission launched an online consultation on how science and innovation can help the EU ensuring safe, nutritious, sufficient and sustainable food globally. The discussion is linked to the theme of 2015's Universal Exhibition (Expo Milano 2015) 'Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life', which aimed to go beyond cultural activities and open a real political debate on global food security and sustainability. Expo Milano opened on the 1 May 2015. Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi said 'The Expo is not simply a fair but a huge occasion through which Italy can reflect on itself and accept the challenges of the future […] It will be the Expo with the highest ever number of foreign delegations and so the highest ideal through which Italy can say it is not just a land of the past'. However, the opening, coinciding with the annual MayDay celebrations in Milan – were also met with large-scale opposition. |
