Expo Milano 2015
Exhibitions from more than 140 countries are expected at Expo Milano 2015, a food event set for May 1 through October 30, 2015. It takes place on a 250-acre site north-west of Milan, Italy (directions).
Theme is “Feeding the Planet: Energy for Life”.
Visitors will take a multisensory journey into the world of food: its history, variety, production processes and future (not to mention tastings).
There will be (literally) thousands of performances, concerts, workshops and exhibitions. A thematic area titled Arts & Foods will examine the interaction among art, design, food and the rituals of eating.
The United States’ pavilion, “American Food 2.0: United to Feed the Planet”, will feature a vertical farm, a boardwalk made from wood repurposed from the Coney Island boardwalk, a cocktail bar and food trucks serving up lobster rolls and burgers.
