“LE NOSTRE AZIONI SONO IL NOSTRO FUTURO”

The Scientific Association of Biologists Without Borders of Cosenza (ASBSF), for the second consecutive year, organized a meeting on the occasion of World Food Day (GMA), promoted by Food and Agricolture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). The event, held on 16 October 2019 at the Museum of the Environment RiMuseum-University of Calabria in Rende (CS), saw the participation of a school group from the Comprehensive School Fausto Gullo of Cosenza. The theme dealt with was the FAO Sustainable Development Goal 2, which this year draws the attention of all sectors so that everyone has access to healthy and sustainable diets. At the same time, it asks everyone to start reflecting on our diet, understood both as a conscious choice of food but also as respect for the environment, preventing the exploitation of natural resources and combating the waste of the products derived from them. The problems related to the ease of access to the so-called “Junk Food” and the methods of approach to the correct choice of food have been outlined, to then deal with the arguments on the repercussions towards human health and the environmental one, consequent to an inadequate management of food. The meeting with young people received great attention especially thanks to the previous awareness on the topics carried out by the teacher Maria Patrizia Beltrano, referent to health education for actions to combat youth distress, who accompanied her students together with the support teacher Maria Assunta Napoli. Some images, projected by Dr. Gaetana La Porta and Dr. Teresa Pandolfi (ASBSF biologists), were taken from the FAO activity book on the 2019 World Food Day, freely available on the dedicated website.

“KNOW TO PREVENT: THE RIGHT FOOD CHOICE”

The Associazione Scientifica Biologi Senza Frontiere (ASBSF) of Cosenza – Calabria (Italy) aims to promote human and environmental well-being through actions aimed at the prevention of human pathologies and behavior at risk of contamination. To do so, it collaborates with public and private institutions, making people of all ages aware of respect for health, including organizing information events. Every year participates in the days dedicated to good nutrition. This year, the ASBSF Association considered it appropriate to share the Fame Zero goal organized by FAO, starting from the assumption that only unity is strength. The event was organized on the World Food Day – 16 October 2018. The speakers wanted to share the free material made available by FAO on the website http://www.fao.org. to familiarize young people with images dedicated to the theme. The event was aimed at schools and concerned the correct nutrition associated with a healthy lifestyle, the invitation to change simple daily actions, the right choice and the origin of the food to be purchased, diseases related to a bad relationship with food.

We attach the premise of the information event set with the images taken from the Activity Book on World Food Day 2018.
