Milan Expo 2015 -Feeding the planet, energy for life



A World Exposition(sometimes spelled as Expo) is a Very Large public Exhibition. These exhibitions differ in character and they are held in varying parts of the world. In this Year world's fair will be Expo 2015 in Milan,Italy. World's fairs was originated in the French tradition of national exhibitions, a tradition that culminated with the French Industrial Exposition of 1844 held in Paris. But the best-known 'first World Expo' was held in The Crystal Palace in Hyde Park, London, United Kingdom, in 1851, Entitled as "Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations".

Expo 2015 is the Current scheduled Universal Exposition and will be hosted by Milan, Italy. This is the second time Milan hosts the exposition, the first being the Milan International of 1906. On November 23, 2010, this event was officially announced by the International Exhibitions Bureau (BIE). The BIE General Assembly in Paris decided into the favour of the Milanese candidature on March 31, 2008. Expo 2015 will be held based on  the theme Feeding the planet, energy for life.



In this event 149 Countries are participating including INDIA,U.S.A,U.K and many more.

The theme that is chosen for the current Milan Universal Exposition is about Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life. This holds technology, innovation, culture, traditions and creativity and how they relate to food and diet. Expo 2015 may further develop themes introduced in earlier Expos (e.g., water at Expo 2008 in Zaragoza) in the light of new global scenarios and emerging issues, with a principal focus on the right to healthy, secure and sufficient food for all the world’s inhabitants.

The concerns of many futurologists and predictors about the quality of food in the years to come are mixedup by forecasts of increasing uncertainties regarding the quantities of food that will be available globally. These concerns was expressed early on in studies by MIT for the Club of Rome, were largely ignored at a time when it appeared that increases in resource availability would outstrip increases in consumption. However, the continuous depletion of agricultural surpluses has clearly manifested the urgency of the tension of how to Feed the Planet and prevent hunger.
