The Tuscan Region and the Food Studies Conference
The Tuscan Region and the Food Studies Conference Now in its fourth year, the Food Studies Conference makes its first foray internationally to Italy, the birth place of the Slow Foods movement, and will be held during the picturesque harvest season in Italy’s Tuscan Region.
