The importance of work, commitment and project planning

The speakers will share and discus ideas and proposals which have the potential to become actions for change, to make the world more aware of what has been done and what has still got to be done in order to make food, and especially organically produced food, a surprisingly major and innovative actor in collaborative and startup initiatives. In particular, Marisol Espinoza Cruz will describe various examples of revival and success in South American food production. The event will often focus on the importance of the work, commitment and project planning, especially on the part of women, which is radically changing the social, cultural and economic contexts of many countries, areas and institutions. Ms. Cruz, the first woman to become Vice-President of Peru, was previously a highly active journalist engaged with issues concerning farming in Peru, and has promoted - both in her previous and current roles - numerous important initiatives supporting social and local improvements in this sector.
In conclusion, the showing of a new short film on Organic Farming in Peru
The debate will conclude with the preview showing of a new short documentary, shot last winter in Peru, illustrating very concretely how a sector and the parts of society dependent on it - thanks to the introduction of organic agriculture - are weaning their economies from the illegal cultivation of coca plants for cocaine. The event is being organized by Alce Nero (Black Elk), a brand uniting over one thousand organic farmers and beekeepers in Italy and around the world, committed since the 1970s to cultivation techniques which safeguard the land by respecting all its components and avoiding the use of synthetic chemicals as pesticides or herbicides.
