Lorenzo Caponetti 

Starting with the Etruscans who first introduced the olive tree cultivation in Italy, and all the way to the challenges of farming within climate change, the answers to those questions are never easy nor univocal, and yet going through the three phases of biology, arbitrariness and transcendence can help navigate through some of them – and besides, isn’t talking about food always a good exercise anyway? Oh, and music?

Blue Economy and Development Strategies for Marine Protected Areas

Workshop with the representatives of the marine and fisheries sector of the area, to identify challenges and opportunities within the areas of Blue Economy and sustainable Fishing.

Medi-terranean, “sea in the middle of the lands,” Mare Nostrum. The blue sea that washes the coasts of Cilento is a true hotspot of biodiversity, hosting as much as 18% of the global diversity of marine species, and jealously guarding the traces of ancient trade routes between the peoples who lived on its shores.

However, climate change, global warming, and contamination from plastics and other materials threaten the exceptional ecological network it hosts. Moreover, in the globalized and “dark” world of fishing and blue protein trade, the livelihoods of small-scale coastal fishermen are also challenged. Their role must be re-evaluated so that they can once again become stewards of the natural marine heritage and vital witnesses of maritime traditions and cultures focused on the sustainable management of marine resources. 

This moment will involve policymakers, researchers, and fishermen, to build together regenerative actions for a natural and cultural heritage too often underestimated.

The students will give life to new ideas to translate the values of the Mediterranean Diet and spread it across the new generations as a sustainable lifestyle with a HACKATHON. 

 A hackathon is an effective tool both for learning and to accelerate the innovation process. It will provide an experiential way for students to learn and explore the Mediterranean Diet from four different points of view.

The hackathon will be a moment of teamwork, development of systemic thinking, and experience to encourage the exchange of ideas, and the approach to co-design, enriching all those involved.
