A space able to explain visitors how agriculture and the cycle of food production today needs specific digital and technological skills. Enzo Eusebi’s concept, who oversaw the artistic direction, for WAA and CONAF, is not a simple attempt to revisit what we are use to see: in a technological rural architecture in its different morphologies building, in every country of the world.

The Pavilion, completely devoid of concrete, was made with Italian wood – saving in emissions of polluting gases and walls of natural cork, once removed, the pavillion will become a traveling exhibition to promote discussion and awareness on food even after the end of Expo2015.

Visitors are greeted by a walnut tree planted in the ground at the center of the space. The “table of Democracy, placed around the tree, becomes the place in which develop discussions and debates.

All this from the the agronomists perspective, the professionals who more than any other are critical to ensure the nutrition of the planet: 380,000 agronomists work daily to plan food, but also to assist companies on food and environmental safety, organize agricultural work to ensure the availability of resources over time. They are represented globally by the World Association of Agronomists.
