Small daily actions for big changes
For over 10 years, Fondazione Barilla has been working to contribute to building a better future. To do so, it analyses food systems, because the well-being of Planet Earth and its inhabitants depends partly on our awareness and the results of our everyday actions.
Today, as the relationship between food, people, and the environment takes center stage in the global debate, Fondazione Barilla engages with citizens to promote responsible behavior and healthy food choices for concrete change in society.
The Savings Book
Fondazione Barilla presents: "THE SAVINGS BOOK - 120 handy tips to avoid food waste and save both inside and outside home.” This guide offers solutions to reduce daily food waste by emphasizing tangible and immediate benefits, such as savings, effectively aligning personal interests with those of the community and the environment.
The project is further enriched by a series of short web clips titled "Those who don’t waste gain" featuring Mara Maionchi, a renowned Italian TV personality, and Riccardo Valentini, Professor of Ecology and Nobel Peace Prize with IPCC. In these videos, they demonstrate some of the tips, highlighting how simple daily actions can make a significant difference in the fight against food waste.
The school: the chefs of tomorrow
The school involves young people from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, driven by a great passion for cooking guiding them through a high-level professional journey that combines culinary training with key themes such as environmental respect, health and well-being, and food waste reduction.
A unique, cutting-edge and completely free school to train the chefs of tomorrow, celebrating the joy of food while keeping an eye on the relationship between food, health and the environment.
Among the partners supporting Fondazione Barilla in identifying the most suitable candidates for this remarkable opportunity are the Red Cross and the Community of Sant’Egidio.
