The aim is to raise public awareness of the health benefits of fruit and vegetable consumption, promote healthy diet and lifestyle, reduce food waste and food losses, improving food production by making it more sustainable through innovation and technology in line with UN development objectives.

In Europe alone, more than 4000 types of vegetables we eat depend on bees. If these precious insects disappear, the consequences for food production and the environment would be devastating. Who would pollinate crops?

It is urgent to reduce the use of disposable options and rely on circular and safe materials. Given the ability of many of these chemicals (many of which are hazardous) to migrate from packaging and other materials to food, their continued use should be understood as a risk to human health.

If you own the seeds you own the food system. Access to open-pollinated seeds is the cornerstone of food citizenship because it creates non-market access to growing.

“To provide space for wild animals, plants, pollinators and natural pest regulators, there is an urgent need to bring back at least 10% of agricultural area under high-diversity landscape features. These include, inter alia, buffer strips, rotational or non-rotational fallow land, hedges, non-productive trees, terrace walls and ponds,” the European Biodiversity Strategy reads.

Healthy natural capital is an asset. The prosperity of our life is closely linked to healthy ecosystems.

The agricultural sector boasts more than 10% of young people who do business and create jobs in Italy with 7 companies under 35 out of 10 that, in addition to cultivation, have developed activities of product processing and direct sales, educational farm, social farming for the inclusion of disadvantaged people, landscape care and production of renewable energy.

The current pandemic has taught us the link between pollution and health. Today we are all perfectly aware of the social, environmental, economic and health benefits that the presence of greenery has in our cities.

The food we eat is a huge indicator of our health. Eating cleanly and simply, exposing your body to as few toxic pollutants as possible, will benefit your wellbeing.

There is only one species responsible for the Covid-19 pandemic: us.

To avoid future epidemics, we must act on prevention, to safeguard human health through the protection of ecosystems and biodiversity, by reducing intensive agriculture and livestock farming, indiscriminate exploitation of forests and natural habitats, trade in wildlife.

Sustainability Day was created to remind the community of the importance of caring for the environment and the steps to do so. Currently, on the la...

Globally, the EU is responsible for more than 10% of the destruction of forests through the consumption of products such as meat, dairy products, soya for animal feed, palm oil, coffee and cocoa. The European Union has therefore decided to open a public consultation procedure on the theme of forest protection: "Deforestation and forest degradation - reducing the impact of products placed on the EU market".
