“On the occasion of World Biodiversity Day, celebrated worldwide tomorrow, we want to put the spotlight on the concrete solutions needed to protect the world, in a unique event”, explains Carlo Petrini, Slow Food International President. “The future of the planet lies in the hands of the younger generation, and the only solution forward is to discuss and debate, because caring about the food we eat means caring for natural resources and everyone's health.  This is why it is so important to give these young people the possibility of meeting and sowing the seeds for a better future for us all”, concluded Petrini.  

“It is essential to guarantee young people from all corners of the world, the possibility to travel and attend this event, to enable them to be the creators of their own, and our common, future,” says Joris Lohman, member of the Slow Food International Executive Committee and Slow Food Youth Network representative. “The crowdfunding platform is an instrument to make this possible. Even through a small donation, we can all make a big difference”, he added.

“It is a real privilege to work with associations such as Slow Food, born in our country and now famous around the world; particularly in the year that Italy becomes a showcase for world food thanks to Expo 2015”, added Giuseppe Caiazza, CEO of Saatchi & Saatchi Italy and France, and Head of Automotive Business of Saatchi & Saatchi EMEA.
