An event capable of going beyond the purely food and wine aspects and of promoting an important supply chain for the economy of our region such as the buffalo one, touching on important issues such as those of sustainability, energy saving and ecological transition, taking the form of an initiative of promotion, but with very significant knowledge and cultural aspects ".
The Organizers
“The novelties of this edition - affirm Antonio Rea and Francesco Sorrentino, Organizers of Bufala Fest - will be many and all relevant, starting from the concept of the village, functional to a completely sustainable use. Furthermore, several of our partners have chosen Bufala Fest, as a prestigious showcase to present their projects related to the green transition. This year we have developed a broad and articulated program of initiatives which, through the enhancement of the entire supply chain, intends to promote the Campania region, enhancing its environmental, landscape, cultural and food and wine resources. Bufala Fest, therefore, is configured as a real territorial marketing action, creative and imaginative but also rigorously concrete, oriented towards a target of operators and users in constant growth ".
