    PAIDEIA CAMPUS REPORT

    Launched in 2021, the Paideia Campus is the result of the meeting of two seemingly distant worlds, a philanthropic enterprise, the Future Food Institute, and a small jewel of a village, Pollica, the cradle of the Mediterranean Diet. 

    Over the past year, the campus has ignited activity around the common desire to create a more beautiful, fair, and sustainable future.
