美国人十几年来饮食更加健康,也更加注重食品问题。【请见别理睬那些美国快餐传闻;许多美国人现在喜欢慢餐】
他们并非农业及农耕发展进步的唯一受益者。美国的发明创造正在全世界帮助解决饥饿及营养不良问题。【请见全球人口到2050年将达到90亿,我们怎样提高农业产量来保障粮食供给呢?】
但还有更多的工作有待完成。到2050年,全世界人口将增加20亿。我们怎样才能生产更多的粮食,同时采用可持续的生产方式呢?
这个问题正是定于5月1日到10月31日在米兰(Milan)举行的2015年世界博览会(2015 World
Expo)的核心议题。美国馆的主题是“美国粮食议程2.0:齐心协力保障全球粮食供给”(American Food 2.0: United
to Feed the Planet),展示美国在粮食创新方面的成果。
互动式展览凸显美国农民、科研人员、公司企业和政府机如何共同努力寻找途径,保障全世界日益增长的人口的粮食供给。
这种创新精神还体现在美国馆的建造过程中,美国馆的设计采纳了目前用于建设更具可持续性和普及性的粮食生态系统的技术。

美国馆展示了全世界最大的垂直立面农场,有42种水果、蔬菜、谷物和香草生长在用回收的塑料瓶制成的容器中。
可持续性技术并非美国馆所展示的唯一一项美国创新。在“餐饮车的国度”(Food Truck Nation)展览上,参观者可以品尝各种传统佳肴和地区风味食品,它们改变了美国餐饮文化的面貌,使之成为全世界最具多样性、最美味可口的餐饮文化之一。
助推加速器(Feeding the
Accelerator)项目是美国馆的另一个亮点。除了研席班和展示会外,这个项目让企业家、厨师和科研人员汇聚米兰,协作开发解决全球粮食难题的开创性解决方案。
America’s
cooking up something delicious and sustainable
Americans are eating healthier and
They aren’t the only
ones to benefit from advances in agriculture and farming. U.S.
innovation is helping
More needs to be done. By 2050, the world will have another 2 billion mouths to feed. How can we produce enough food — and do it sustainably?
That question is at
the heart of the 2015 World Expo in Milan, taking place from May 1
to October 31. The USA Pavilion, titled “American Food 2.0:
United to Feed the Planet,” showcases the United States as a
food innovator.
Interactive exhibits highlight how U.S. farmers, scientists, businesses and government agencies are working to find ways to feed the world’s growing population.
That spirit of
innovation is built into the USA Pavilion

It features the world’s largest vertical farm, where 42 varieties of fruits, vegetables, grains and herbs are being grown in containers made from recycled plastic bottles.
Sustainable technology isn’t the only American innovation on display. At the Food Truck Nation exhibit, visitors can try the culinary traditions and regional products that have transformed the U.S. food landscape into one of the most diverse — and delicious — in the world.
The Feeding the Accelerator project is another highlight of the USA Pavilion. In addition to workshops and demonstrations, the program brings entrepreneurs, chefs and researchers to Milan to collaborate on groundbreaking solutions to global food challenges.
