Milano quest’anno aggiunge alla fama di capitale della moda e del design anche quella di centro mondiale del food, grazie a Expo. Non poteva quindi mancare un evento di portata globale che vedesse come protagonista il caffè. L’appuntamento è tra il 30 settembre e il 1 ottobre al Global Coffee Forum, in occasione dell’International Coffee Council che per la prima volta si terrà in Italia, dal 28 settembre al 2 ottobre.
Il meeting internazionale sul caffè vede Host2015 in qualità di partner ed è promosso da ICO, International Coffee Organization, Ministero delle Politiche Agricole e Forestali, Comitato Italiano del Caffè, EXPO Milano e Fiera Milano Congressi, con il contribuito di Illy e Lavazza.
I lavori declineranno il caffè nei tre temi piacere, salute, sostenibilità e riuniranno al Centro Congressi Stella Polare in fieramilano a Rho, a pochi passi da EXPO e dal suo Coffee Cluster, i più autorevoli esponenti del settore. Tra i relatori, Robério Silva, Executive Director di ICO; Andrea Illy, Chairman of The ICO Promotion and Market Development Committee e Ceo Illy; Giuseppe Lavazza, Vice Presidente Lavazza Group e ancora Ric Rhinehart, SCAA Executive Director; Patrick Hoffer, Presidente del Consorzio Promozione Caffè e Jeffrey Sachs, Direttore dell’Earth Institute della Columbia University.Ad Andrea Illy abbiamo chiesto di spiegarci il significato dell’evento. “Il nostro auspicio è di dar vita, insieme ai Paesi produttori di caffè partecipanti a Expo, ad un comitato promotore per un “Manifesto del caffè”, che consolidi il circolo virtuoso che già oggi vede una parte del valore aggiunto generato dal caffè andare a loro beneficio”.

Durante la manifestazione, il 1° ottobre, si terrà il primo “International Coffee Day” (ICD), altro evento ufficiale di portata globale. Annunciata proprio al Forum, la giornata del caffè, sostenuta da ICO con iniziative in tutto il mondo, ispirate a valori di cultura, salute e sostenibilità, si avvale di una partnership con Oxfam, una delle più importanti confederazioni internazionali di ONG al mondo, composta da 17 organizzazioni di Paesi diversi.
