In 2015, for the first time in the history of world's fairs, Expo Milano will focus exclusively on food. As one of the leading organizers of America's participation, the James Beard Foundation will engage the expo's theme, "Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life," by creating an ambitious, interactive pavilion that will showcase the diversity and deliciousness of American food today, as well as our country’s leading role in feeding the planet in the future.
We'll be sharing more news about the USA Pavilion at Expo Milano this Wednesday, when simultaneous groundbreaking ceremonies will take place at the Expo site in Milan and at the Department of State in Washington, D.C. In the meantime, check out these two pieces of recent media coverage:
