Food in Landscape design

The present research has as object the activities promoted within the Multinet project (PSR Umbria 2014/2020, Mis.16.1) and in particular, the different approaches adopted to innovate business models of Umbrian farms, by enhancing the multifunctionality of agriculture. The use of agricultural spaces, agro-food production and food consumption are traditions and experiences deeply linked to the identity of the territory, a cultural heritage that increasingly becomes an instrument of connotation of the landscape. These new guidelines contribute to the affirmation of the concept of food that belongs to the territory, as a vehicle of tradition and memory but also as landscapes of food, Foodscape, which represents the complexity of production and consumption of food. The proposed operational paths activate social and spatial relations, and focus on perception through the multifunctionality of agriculture, in order to promote the development of Umbrian territory.
