What we eat today can change our tomorrow
On 25 September 2015, the 193 member countries of the United Nations signed the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, a plan of 17 global goals, including many linked to the current food models such as fighting hunger, poverty, access to education and climate change. This is why we chose to take action.
