The course traces the origins and development of typical products of the Italian agro-food culture to the birth of Made in Italy, it is understood as the result of an economic exploitation strategy and a symbol of Italian industrial excellence. Next to the historical reconstruction we will develop the deepening of the economic importance of the Made in Italy food, with particular reference to the sector role in Italian foreign trade and its position in the global value chains.

Programme
Plant Pathology is the discipline that studies the interaction between plants, pathogens and the environment. Safety in food production is one of the hallmarks of global strategies aimed at ensuring food for all for the future. Currently the production of food of plant origin is severely compromised by the increasingly pressing challenge posed by pathogens. These latter directly deplete nutrient resources by deteriorating and sometimes eliminating crops: indirectly worsen the quality of food by forcing farmers to use pesticides and by releasing mycotoxins into the crops, secondary metabolites of fungal origin harmful to humans and animals. The Plant Pathology therefore has as its primary purpose the study of pathogens,of the main defensive strategies of plants, the defensive strategies implemented by man and the recognition of symptoms of the main diseases that put at risk the quantity and quality of agricultural production.
