Fabrizio De Filippis
The curiosity
"Curiosity, determination and teamwork, together with irony, are the greatest drivers for change and improvement.”
For Fabrizio De Filippis, professor of economics and expert in agricultural policies, environmental sustainability is no longer negotiable and the agri-food sector has shown itself to be a strategic and 'resilient' sector in its ability to respond to the global crisis.
Prof. De Filippis tells us how the sustainability model should not be imposed upon producers, but built together with them. This is an opportunity to be taken advantage of to evolve in this sector. A fundamental aspect of this process is the orientation and education of new generations in relation to future challenges and opportunities
