The theme of the 2023 edition
"Inventory", this is the theme of the seventh edition of the Irpinia Mood Food festival. A simple word which, however, contains various meanings in it.
In fact, on the one hand we take into consideration food waste and the fight against it and on the other we want to exalt "leftovers", i.e. all those people who want to improve the place where they were born, engaging in changing things and exalting these places that are worth knowing.
