Note in chiusura della serie di incontri Food Health and Tradition
Perche’ IWG ha deciso di organizzare un dibattito articolato in tre eventi e relative tavole rotonde, su alcuni dei punti cruciali della sfida alimentare di questo XXI mo secolo?
Perche’ IWG crede che la visione che le donne hanno e le soluzioni che esse prospettano nella risoluzione di problemi siano non solo differenti ma sempre innovative ed equilibrate.
Le donne che hanno partecipato agli incontri Food Health and Tradition hanno portato le loro testimonianze e la loro professionalita’. Esse parlando di nutrizione del corpo hanno fatto comprendere il legame indissolubile tra il corpo e le mente: nutrire vuol dire quindi sviluppare e fortificare la liberta’ e l’intelligenza di tutti.
La nostra convinzione e’ che concetti come sostenbilita’ globale, eliminazione degli sprechi alimentari, uguaglianza nell’accesso alle risorse, diventino obiettivi raggiungibili attraverso una nuova alleanza tra cibo e cultura e che i creatori, divulgatori ed esecutori di questo nuovo approccio, di questo nuovo patto per un futuro migliore non possano essere che le donne.
