Paolo Corvo

Paolo Corvo serves as Associate Professor at Italy's University of Gastronomic Sciences (UNISG) in Pollenzo, where he teaches Travel Cultures and Social Change, Media and Visual Sociology of Food, and New Food and Restaurant Trends. His institutional roles include Member of the Ethics Committee and Delegate for the ERASMUS program, reflecting deep integration within UNISG's academic framework.

Corvo's research centers on the sociological dimensions of food systems and tourism, with primary focus areas including Food and Society, Consumption Practices, Sustainable Tourism, and Quality of Life indicators. His work examines how pandemic disruptions reshaped domestic food consumption patterns while exploring enduring themes like ethnobotanical knowledge in Italian mountain communities and the cultural significance of food heritage. This interdisciplinary approach bridges sociology, anthropology, and policy development to address contemporary challenges in sustainable food systems.

Analysis of his 2021-2025 publications reveals three dominant trajectories: 1) Pandemic impacts on domestic kitchens and school meal systems, 2) Ethnobotanical studies of traditional food knowledge in marginalized Italian regions, and 3) Sustainable gastronomic tourism frameworks connecting cultural preservation with economic development. His research consistently applies Italian case studies to global sustainability challenges while emphasizing community-level resilience.
