Terra Madre Salone del Gusto 2026 opens in Turin

The 16th edition of Terra Madre Salone del Gusto is taking place in Turin from September 24 to 27, 2026. Inaugurated by Italian President Sergio Mattarella, the event focuses on the theme ‘Biodiversity – Be Diversity,’ emphasizing the protection of genetic multiplicity as a crucial challenge for human survival and food security.

Organized by Slow Food, the City of Turin, and the Piedmont Region, the festival features over 1,000 events spread across the city's historic center. Participants include producers, chefs, and international communities from over 120 countries. Key highlights include the presentation of the ‘Atlanti dell’Arca del Gusto,’ eighteen volumes mapping agro-alimentary biodiversity, and the ‘Ricetta 791’ initiative by Emilia-Romagna, which invites the public to vote on ingredients to create a new collective recipe.

Regional delegations, such as those from Santarcangelo featuring the ‘cipolla dell’acqua’ and Benevento showcasing Marzellina wheat, are using the platform to promote local biodiversity and traditional knowledge. The event also addresses the intersection of food, peace, and geopolitics, calling for a global alliance to protect food systems against the impacts of conflict and climate change.
