Second Biodiversity Festival - 72hours of Biodiversity

Scandicci (Italy), 19/05/2023 - 21/05/2023

Organized on the National Day of AgroBiodiversity and World Biodiversity Day, the three-day Festival will highlight the critical contribution of millets to the diversification of diets, their nutritional and health benefits, and their essential role in sustainable agriculture under challenging soil and climatic conditions. The 2023 editions will dedicate numerous free and unique activities to promote these Nutri-Cereals from a biodiversity and consumption perspective with audiences of all ages and backgrounds, in particular:

  • Thematic workshops for adults and children;
  • Book presentations;
  • Two special conferences;
  • Various music concerts;
  • Gastronomic events with millets (for a total of 600 people);
  • A marketplace with more than 60 exhibitors;
  • A full day of entertainment and games for children and adults at the Park.

Some of the activities will take place in historical buildings and spaces of great importance for the City, but also in the Diversity Gardens (Orti della Diversità) and the “Agrobiodiversity Library”, with the full support of the Rural Seed Network (Rete Semi Rurali). The 2022 edition reached out to more than 3000 participants over three days. All the activities all always well documented through pictures and video.
