About
What

​
Why

Because there is the need for whoever is interested in this discipline, to find a place where to add their contribution, share knowledge and reach other people’s experiences.
Because Internet has the power to shorten distances, as to create a network of people with the same interests who communicate and share.

For everyone who studies or teaches Food Design.
For everyone who does research on any topic concerning Food Design.
