Speakers and events will cover a range of subjects, including agronomy, chemistry, economics, gastronomy, nutrition, politics and wellness.
“The last couple of years have made it clear, more than ever before, that our efforts toward improving human and planetary health should be multidisciplinary and collaborative,” said Tassos C. Kyriakides, the co-chair of the organizing committee from the Yale School of Public Health.
Ylenia Granitto, a senior writer for Olive Oil Times and professional taster, is a member of the organizing and scientific committee. Among the speakers of the event are American, Spanish, Italian and Greek researchers and olive oil experts.
