I’m Paolo, I’m Professor of Food law and EU agricultural law at the University of Ferrara. After a PhD in the University of Pisa and after some experiences as a contract professor, in 2002 I finally obtained a chair in Ferrara, where I’ve been Director of a PhD program and of a Research Center about EU Law. I’m also a lawyer, and both in my academic and in my professional experience I study and practice many areas of the agro-food law (food safety and risk assessment, food information to consumers, food innovation, food chain contracts, etc.) 

Hi! My name is Valeria. I am a lawyer and a researcher in Agrifood law at the University of Padova. After my PhD in EU law at the University of Ferrara, I worked as Postdoc at the University of Eastern Piedmont and at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia. I am currently lecturing in the Master Programs “Food and Health” (where I am also cooperating in several management and internationalization activities), “Biotechnologies for food science”, “Scienze e tecnologie agrarie” (science and technologies for agriculture) and in several postgraduate masters and training courses in the food law area. 

Margherita is a lecturer of agriculture and food law at the University of Brescia. Her main research interests pertain to the intersection between human rights and natural resources in the agriculture sector. She is currently working on the evolution of the definition of farmer in Italian law. She has an interdisciplinary background, having explored food and agriculture law in the context of two social science projects (on food systems diversity, and food e-commerce) as well as under a comparative and international law perspective (human rights and corporate social responsibility).
