Biography
Dal 2017 ho lavorato come consulente nel settore del Vertical Farming, partecipando alla realizzazione di due progetti: un impianto sperimentale per la crescita di fragoline di bosco e uno per la produzione e commercializzazione di basilico, insalatine e microgreens.
Nel 2020 ho co-fondato Vertical Farming Education, per la realizzazione di laboratori di educazione ambientale e alimentare. Durante il percorso didattico, gli studenti scoprono in modo pratico e coinvolgente l’impronta idrica degli alimenti, imparando che un’alimentazione sana è anche sostenibile.

Abstract
In a society increasingly distant from agricultural practices, Vertical Farming Education wants to bring young people closer to the food supply chain.
Thanks to our vertical farms, students cultivate directly in their classroom, monitoring the growth of salads and the water used during the entire production cycle.
In this way they discover the concept of virtual water and water footprint in a practical way.
To adopt a healthier and more sustainable lifestyle we must start from our diet.
We must all be aware that wasting food is equivalent to wasting the resources used to produce it and that adopting a healthy diet can benefit not only our health, but also that of the planet.
