This year, discussions will focus on the role of origin-linked labeling (such as Geographical Indications) and sustainable pastoral and agricultural practices in the agro-ecological transition, particularly in mountainous areas.

The Forum will bring together a large number of international players (scientists, territorial actors, politicians) who are working towards more sustainable and resilient development of territorial food systems in the face of increasingly marked climate challenges.
