Oil, chilli, butter, saffron, eggs, flour, onions and so many more: these are the “hubs”, the culinary points of intersection, the few ingredients necessary for preparing innumerable recipes. The ingredients are really nodes that connect to recipes that already exist throughout the world and make it possible to develop new ones, which are actually interconnecting networks of data.

The food and agriculture industry is one of the pillars of the economy, yet we still know little or nothing about what presence it has on the Net, for example, or to what extent its companies are capitalising on the benefits and potential that the Internet can offer.

The 2015 edition of the Internet Festival, Pisa’s annual international event dedicated to the Net, saw the participation of many noteworthy figures in Italian culture and journalism. These included Luca Sofri, journalist, writer and director of “Il Post”, who presented his latest book “Notizie che non lo erano” (“News that wasn’t news”).
