Sara Roversi’s Future Food Institute, based in Pollica, was awarded at the Delphi Economic Forum for protecting heritage through youth empowerment

Pollica and Cilento are my school – living examples of resilience and Knowledge keepers of the Mediterranean Diet a unique cultural and environmental heritage.”
— Sara Roversi

DELPHI, GREECE, April 10, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Future Food Institute (FFI), founded and led by Sara Roversi, has been awarded the prestigious Costa Carras European Citizens Silver Award for the Safeguard of Endangered Heritage 2025, promoted by Europa Nostra and ELLINIKI ETAIRIA – Society for the Environment and Cultural Heritage.

This annual award celebrates organizations that stand out in the protection of endangered cultural and natural heritage. The recognition honors FFI’s commitment to the safeguarding and promotion of food, environmental, and social heritage through regenerative practices, ecological education, and the empowerment of local communities.

The Future Food Institute is the first Italian institution to receive the Costa Carras European Citizens Award.
The jury, which evaluated projects from 13 European countries including Italy, Greece, Germany, Armenia, Slovenia, Cyprus, Portugal, and Turkey, stated:

“The Future Food Institute (FFI) is a pioneering force in transforming global food systems through education, innovation, and community engagement. Recognizing food as much more than a nutritional necessity, FFI celebrates its deep cultural role rooted in social traditions. Its commitment to prosperity-oriented thinking – balancing economic growth, social wellbeing, and environmental protection – demonstrates a holistic and impactful approach. Of particular note is the Institute’s work to protect menaica fishing in Cilento, threatened by industrial fishing and regulatory barriers, offering a tangible example of safeguarding endangered food heritage. Through an integrated strategy combining education, advocacy, and community engagement, FFI ensures that food remains a living bridge between tradition, sustainability, and the future.”

Sara Roversi, commenting on the award, stated:
“Pollica and Cilento are my school – living examples of resilience and guardians of a unique cultural and environmental heritage. I dedicate this award to the heroic farmers and fishermen, like Vittorio, who passionately carry on millennia-old knowledge – such as menaica fishing – and to the local administrators who preserve these territories by promoting holistic ecological development. Marginal areas with high potential, like Cilento, safeguard biodiversity and traditions that must be protected, enhanced, and made active contributors to our future. Together, we have the responsibility to keep this knowledge alive and pass it on to new generations so it can become a practical tool to build a more just world.”

She added:
“Receiving the European Citizen Award for the safeguarding of endangered European heritage is a profound honor. I believe in a Europe that protects, preserves, and regenerates its heritage – not only as a memory of the past but as a living foundation for our future. This recognition affirms the vision of a Europe that values its cultural diversity as a shared strength, and that sees ancestral knowledge and lived landscapes as guiding lights to face global challenges.”

FFI’s commitment is also expressed through the "Save the Ocean" Bootcamps, immersive educational programs that, starting from Pollica, engage young people, experts, and local fishermen in concrete actions to regenerate marine ecosystems, protect biodiversity, and raise awareness of climate and food challenges.

At the heart of these initiatives is the Paideia Campus in Pollica, recognized as a Living Lab for Integral Ecological Development. Inspired by the Mediterranean Diet – UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, the campus promotes regenerative models for agriculture, food systems, and environmental policies.

Founded in Italy in 2014, the Future Food Institute is a global ecosystem with hubs in Europe, the United States, and Asia. Its approach integrates transdisciplinarity, community engagement, and technology to build a regenerative society and contribute actively to the achievement of the UN 2030 Agenda Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The Delphi Economic Forum, held from April 9-12, 2025, marks its 10th anniversary with a focus on addressing major global challenges, such as ecological transition, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and economic cooperation. High-profile speakers, including Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and OECD Secretary-General Mathias Cormann, will lead discussions. Official partners include the Athens Democracy Forum by The New York Times.

The Costa Carras European Citizens Awards, established in 2023 by Europa Nostra and ELLINIKI ETAIRIA, honor the legacy of Costa Carras in protecting the environment and cultural heritage. The awards, funded by the A.G. Leventis Foundation, recognize significant contributions to these causes.

EMERGENCY PRESS CONFERENCE ON GAZA CRISIS, Doctors Call On Trump To End The Starvation And Killing Fields In Gaza

Doctors Against Genocide call on Trump to demand shutdown of Gaza Humanitarian Foundation aid distribution deathtrapsHundreds of thousands in Gaza face death from forced starvation within hours or days on our watch. President Trump can end this with one phone call, just as President Reagan did.”— Dr. Nidal JboorWASHINGTON, DC, DC, UNITED STATES, July 23, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Contact: Dr. Nidal Jboor, co-founder, Doctors Against Genocide, 313-354-1400; Dr. Karameh Kuemmerle, co-founder, Doctors Against Genocide, 617-818-5239; leadership@doctorsagainstgenocide.org Who: Medical professionals with Doctors Against Genocide; Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI); former diplomats, veterans and more. Where: House Triangle, The US Capitol. When: Thursday, July 24, 10am. Doctors, nurses and other medical professionals representing the global coalition of healthcare workers, Doctors Against Genocide (DAG), alongside Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and other allies, will hold an emergency press conference at the House Triangle on Capitol Hill at 10am on Thursday, July 24. The speakers will call on US President Donald Trump to end the starvation and slaughter in Gaza. They will also demand the removal of the US-Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), which has turned the distribution of aid into target practice for the Israeli military. After the press conference, members of DAG will protest in front of the Egyptian Embassy at 11am, the Israeli Embassy at 12pm, and in Lafayette Park in front of the White House from 12pm-2pm. DAG speakers will be available for additional interviews at each of these locations. “The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation is not aid, it’s a U.S.-funded slaughterhouse,” said Dr. Nidal Jboor, a DAG co-founder and Michigan-based internal medicine specialist. “Hundreds of thousands in Gaza face death from forced starvation within hours or days on our watch. President Trump can end this with one phone call, just as President Reagan did.” Israel’s intense bombardment of Beirut, Lebanon in August 1982 ceased 20 minutes after Reagan placed a call to then Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin, urging him to halt the attacks. “The US can and must shut down these killing zones, flood Gaza with real aid, and stop the genocide now,” Jboor said. Doctors Against Genocide will call on the White House to end the starvation, replace the US-Israeli GHF with neutral aid distribution organizations, and block Israeli plans to drive the surviving Palestinian population into concentration camps. As many as 3,000 trucks laden with life-saving aid are stranded at the border, blocked by Israel from entering Gaza. “Palestinians in Gaza including our own medical colleagues are collapsing from extreme hunger and catastrophic war injuries,” said Dr. Karemeh Kuemmerle, a DAG co-founder and pediatric neurologist in Boston. “More than one thousand civilians have been killed while trying to access food since late May,” Kuemmerle said. “Without immediate access to food, medicine, and rehabilitation, lives will continue to be lost. This genocide is reaching unimaginable and unprecedented levels of cruelty and depravity. We are living in an age of no humanity.” Doctors Against Genocide has seen members of their own profession abducted, imprisoned, tortured and assassinated. They hear daily from fellow doctors in Gaza who are now fighting starvation themselves, even passing out on the floors of their hospitals but who are still trying to help their patients. “Our doctors in Gaza are calling to us, ‘the world must move today before it is too late,’’ Jboor said. “It’s time for President Trump to fulfill his mandate as the ‘peace president’ and end the Gaza genocide now.”

Branża pomp ciepła w Polsce odczuwa konsekwencje dezinformacji. Krążące mity zniechęcają do tej technologii

Przedstawiciele branży pomp ciepła biją na alarm: mity i dezinformacja krążące w przestrzeni publicznej, brak wystarczającego wsparcia informacyjnego rządu i nieprawidłowości w działalności nieuczciwych firm w poprzedniej edycji programu Czyste Powietrze – to główne przyczyny pogorszenia wizerunku tej technologii. Branża walczy z dezinformacją i stara się wzmacniać świadomość społeczną w zakresie ekologicznych i ekonomicznych korzyści z instalacji pomp ciepła. Jednocześnie podkreśla potrzebę kompleksowych działań ze wsparciem rządu.

W UE trwa dyskusja o większej kontroli przesyłek e-commerce o wartości poniżej 150 euro. Zwolnienie z cła jest nadużywane

Do Europy w ubiegłym roku trafiło ok. 4,5 mld przesyłek e-commerce o niskiej wartości, czyli poniżej progu 150 euro, który zwalnia z cła. To dwa razy więcej niż w 2023 roku. W 65 proc. przypadków wartość przesyłki jest zaniżana właśnie z uwagi na politykę celną, co zdaniem instytucji unijnych jest naruszeniem uczciwej konkurencji. W dodatku wiele z tych produktów nie spełnia norm bezpieczeństwa czy norm środowiskowych wymaganych w Europie. Dlatego trwa dyskusja nad tym, jak zwiększyć kontrolę nad wpływającymi z zagranicy paczkami.
