“Sustainability Today the issue of sustainability is one of the great challenges we face, even the latest climate events show it. There is a great challenge that is linked to food and the possibility of having enough resources to sustain all populations. Naples has been chosen as a point of reference for the entire South of Italy, so it is also a great recognition of the work that is being done and the responsibility of Naples in these matters for the future.“

“From the beginning of my tenure as Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, I strongly wanted Rome to host the UN Summit on Sustainable Food Systems.I thought that our capital was the ideal showcase to highlight the key role that Italy plays in the field of food worldwide in front of 193 countries.
The summit from July 24 to 26 is a success for our Government, the result of the 360-degree commitment of all its members, and an important result for our country of which we should all be proud.
The Government is today at the forefront to make the agricultural systems of the Mediterranean countries more sustainable and innovative, through the launch of collaborations between Italian cities and Mediterranean cities with the participation of the Italian Cooperation.
The 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations 2030 Agenda are a priority of Italy’s foreign policy action. Among these, several refer to the challenge, even more fundamental today, of guaranteeing food security and fair access to food in the world.
In this context, the contribution of the Italian agri-food sector, with its valuable wealth of experience, knowledge and technological innovation, is essential. Realities such as the Agritech Center of the University of Naples Federico II represent excellence at an international level.
It is a special pleasure to be in Naples on May 27 to speak at two important events on the Agritech Center and on the collaboration between Italian cities and Mediterranean cities that we have organized thanks to a virtuous collaboration with the Municipality of Naples and our national and international partners. .”
vincent amato President of the Municipality of Naples
“The choice of the Government to start its journey from Naples, the port city, to renew its commitment to the objectives of the 2030 Agenda is the sign of a renewed collaboration between the city and the Government. As part of the highly articulated program of this initiative, I want to point out the extraordinary Town Hall that we will celebrate on May 26 in the Sala dei Baroni. We will have a debate with the representatives of the Ministry and the experts of the 2030 Agenda in particular on the issue of food sustainability and as City Council we are working on a motion to address education, environmental sustainability, respect for people and the environment . strategic objectives of the 2030 Agenda that need a strong national network to be pursued and achieved.“
matthew lorito Rector of the Federico II University of Naples
“Italy has equipped itself with a new tool to increase the competitiveness of its agri-food system. The Agritech National Center, with its 9 radios distributed throughout the country, brings together 1,500 researchers in the most advanced laboratories on the subject of new technologies for agriculture, coordinated from the center in East Naples, where the first Academy also began Agritech. Innovation and above all the transfer of technology are the objectives of the Center, whose effects will soon be seen in the quality and availability of food, also in support of the national agri-food policy and collaboration with foreign countries. Training, research, contracting possibilities and, above all, interaction of the numerous research groups at the national level for the creation of an integrated system within everyone’s reach, starting with the large industrial players, some of which have already chosen to join the project. as members of the Agritech Foundation. These are the principles on which the Agritech Center will grow initially with financing from the PNRR, to then continue its activity from 2026 with public and private financing, always in the interest of the country.“.
