In his speech, Di Stefano illustrated some of Italian cooperation priorities and strategies for the implementation of circular economy projects in Africa, particularly in Mozambique, Burkina Faso and Senegal, where the Group is working with NGOs and cooperation institutions to promote the separate collection of food waste, innovations in agriculture and the transfer of knowledge in a systemic approach to innovation.
28 October - Caring for soil is caring for life: soil health policies and innovation
The conference, organized by the Technical Scientific Committee of Ecomondo, by the Mission Soil Health and Food of the European Commission, by Re Soil Foundation and Coldiretti, offered an overview of the evolution of strategies and policies related to soil health and to illustrate case studies of how regenerative agriculture and circular bioeconomy, which see the soil as their starting and ending point, represent an important tool to reverse the course of soil degradation, creating value in the territories.
Catia Bastioli, CEO Novamont and Member of the Mission Board for Soil Health and Food of the European Commission, who also moderated the meeting, highlighted the importance of soil protection as an essential element to reduce emissions and improve the carbon sink, stressing how the targets of the Green Deal, biodiversity, food systems and life on Earth strongly depend on the health of our soils. Bastioli then recalled the objectives of the European Mission, including the creation of living labs and lighthouses as places of research and tests to study innovative solutions for soils.
