Experiences ad knowdledge
If you deal with product development, every experience that leads you to face the new is important. Travel, reading and the continuous acquisition of knowledge are fundamental elements. Traveling has allowed me to explore different cultures and food practices, inspiring me to innovate and adapt new techniques.
Reading, both academic texts and specialized publications, is crucial for me to stay up to date on the latest research and technological developments in the sector. Furthermore, constant learning is essential in my dynamic and rapidly evolving field, where new technologies and approaches can significantly improve the production and sustainability of food products. In summary, these activities enrich my understanding of the sector, promoting innovative and effective solutions for future challenges.
On this page, as in a logbook, I have collected notes and images of my recent experiences
