CARE’s The ethical chef days – DAY 3

TUESDAY – #DAY 3

The most important part of CARE’s are the talks and Tuesday’s line up with key speakers saw this edition of CARE’s at Ciasa dla Cultura masterfully furnished by exquisite pieces from design Lago.

Since the beginning of CARE’s there have been more than 40 speakers from all over the world and with an appreciation of the contents discussed in the conferences first in Badia and then in Salina, for the Winter Edition 2018 CARE’s proposed two new CARE’s Talk.

In past editions, the subject of sustainability and ethical small businesses was first established and then the comparison of big companies and large projects was presented. This year, the talks go beyond the dish giving voice to companies committed to responsible management of resources for future generations, to promote the concept of sustainable development “Food Waste”.

The Talks were preceded by a welcome breakfast offered in the Lavazza Bar on the first floor, where Caffè Tierra was accompanied by a selection of pastry from Andrea Tortora, pastry chef of St Hubertus (Rosa Alpina).

On the top floor of the Ciasa dla Cultra, Pompadour has also set up a relaxation area, where the multiple interviews took place – as in the Lavazza Bar.

The WELCOME SPEECH was curated by Norbert Niederkofler and Paolo Ferretti (founders of CARE’s), then from 9:45 to 10:30 followed by the partner testimonials: Why we support CARE’s, starting with VODAFONE, with Alessandro Canzian, head of marketing and sales corporate, and followed by Lavazza and San Pellegrino.

Michele Laghezza, Director of Marketing of Miele Italy, during the ‘Sponsor Testimony – Why We Support Care’, told how sustainability starts from lifew at home:

from the optimal conservation of food in the fridge, to the correct cooking that does not waste food, from energy saving with the use of induction, to an appropriate use of the extractor hood. “Sustainability is in fact a choice of quality of life,” said Laghezza: it is the choice of living well, the little things, giving more value to our time and looking for a healthy and waste free diet.

The moderator of all the talks was Lisa Casali, an environmental scientist, blogger and writer, as well as a pioneer in zero impact cooking.
