Among the debated topics, the lack of sustainability of the current food chain was acknowledged, as was the need for effective solutions that can be localized and adapted to every culture and environment; the part played by technology in changing the status quo, an important but limited one, since real change can happen only with human resolution and ingenuity.
Hosting such a beautiful panel and working with so many inspiring people was a privilege that Rome Business School will make sure can soon be repeated.
