What is C3A (In Italian) ? My presentation to the students of Viticulture and Oenology of the Center of Agricolture, Food and Environment of the University of Trento

This is an unusual topic for the blog. Because it happens that I am the director of the Centro Agricoltura, Alimenti, Ambiente of the University of Trento, in my academical duties there is also to present to students what our Center is about.  You can find the presentation in Italian clicking on the Figure below.

The research program (in English) of the Center can be found also in another post, here.

The Center is not unknown to ChatGPT that, asked to answer says:

The **Center for Agriculture, Food, and Environment** (C3A) at the University of Trento is an interdisciplinary research and educational center created through a collaboration between the University of Trento and the Edmund Mach Foundation (FEM) in Trentino.
