“RacColti sul fatto” attempts to answer these questions, guided by Chimicazza – an organic chemist and science communicator known for his direct and ironic style – who takes listeners on a journey through data, scientific research and expert testimony.
Each episode is built around a “word of the day”, a key concept that serves as the starting point for exploring a complex topic using clear and rigorous language.
It starts with “Money”, to understand the agri-food sector’s importance to the economy and what really lies behind the price of food. With “Dose”, the podcast explores the relationship between diet, health and risk perception in a society where food is more strictly regulated than ever.
The word “Hybrid” introduces the technological transformations taking place in the sector and the emergence of new professions combining agronomy, data and innovation. With “Sustainability”, the podcast addresses the global challenge of feeding a growing population while reducing waste and inefficiencies.
The journey continues with “Identity”, dedicated to the relationship between food and culture, and “Adaptation”, which explores how agriculture is responding to the effects of climate change. The word “Balance” examines the role of livestock farming in contemporary food systems, while “New Frontiers” looks to the future of food production, from emerging technologies to experiments in space agriculture.
Eight keywords for exploring the food supply chain, global challenges and the innovations reshaping our relationship with what we eat.
