The president of the Consortium, Carmelo Calabrese together with the vice-president Massimo Pavan showed the progress made in just three years since the birth of the Consortium. And now through the collaboration with the Regional Institute of Wines and Oils of Sicily the "leap in quality". The commissioner of the organization, Giorgio Calabrese, gave an interesting presentation, as a well-known nutritionist, on the benefits that come from the consumption of carrots. “For example, not all of us know – he said – that carrots are the only food to contain falcarinol. Important anticarcinogenic compound”. The IRVOS laboratory in Ispica will also become an active hub in the organization of agri-food in view of EXPO 2015.
