We have put the earth back at the center, at the center of man. As a value, we have chosen lega: lega sopra others, to build a united community around respect. This is and remains our rete. I believe that it is precisely from here that we must continue to work: from respect for the land and for the people. The global challenges we luce are complex, and without authentic ethics towards what surrounds us we will not get far. This is why I am profoundly grateful for the prize that was awarded to us: recognition of a commitment that we have been carrying out for years and which still requires a lot of work, together, as a community” comments Andrea Farinetti.
