Since 2009 we have been working to build a better future and we do it starting from the study of food systems, because the well-being of Planet Earth and its inhabitants also depends on our awareness and the result of our daily actions.
Through research and dissemination projects, we promote responsible behaviors and healthy food choices for a concrete change in society.
