In this way, the theme Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life is treated in a wide approach while making concrete the spirit of these spaces, aimed just to sharing, dialogue and interaction. Clusters are characterized by common areas which develop, through functional spaces (market, shows, events, tastings), the food chain. Every country present in the Cluster has an individual exhibition, where it can develop its own interpretation of the theme of Expo Milan 2015.
