Like every year, a theme for the Sponz Fest was chosen this year, that is Coltivare, in the double meaning of culture and culture. It will be an invitation to reflect on what we are, on what we eat and what we grow, on the relationship that has always existed between man and the earth.

Important topics will be addressed, such as the fight against food waste, the protection of biodiversity, forestation and deforestation.
