\u201cEat healthy, live better, support the environment\u201d is the project launched today by the Foreign Ministry for World Food Day. \u201cWe want to introduce concepts more closely linked to nutritional aspects and the need to lead a healthy life,\u201d said Undersecretary Manlio Di Stefano at an event organised in the Ministry\u2019s canteen in conjunction with food supplier Ladisa S.r.l.<\/p>\n
The Ministry\u2019s canteen, the Undersecretary recalled, is already\u00a0plastic free<\/i>, as is the whole Farnesina building. Together with the nutritionist that develops the menus and offers consulting once a week, Undersecretary Di Stefano emphasised the importance of promoting the culture of seasonality in order to eat food that is not only healthy but also respectful of the environment. He added: \u201cAlso from the State\u2019s point of view, better eating habits lead to a better relationship with healthcare and to a better life.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Undersecretary insisted on the need to foster \u201can informed cultural exchange rather than insisting on a punitive approach\u201d with a view to promoting better eating habits in parallel with the reduction of disposable plastics. He said: \u201cWe will effectively succeed to cut waste only when we understand that it is the whole supply chain waste that must be eliminated\u201d by simply preventing to produce it.<\/p>\n
Today\u2019s event forms part of the Foreign Ministry\u2019s \u2018green policy\u2019 to make the building increasingly sustainable. In 2018, the canteen saved almost 2 tons of plastic and half a ton of aluminium. In addition, flat and frizzy water dispensers were set up and aluminium flasks were distributed to create a\u00a0plastic free<\/i>\u00a0environment and solar panels were installed and the building\u2019s heating system was upgraded to improve its energy efficiency.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cEat healthy, live better, support the environment\u201d is the project launched today by the Foreign Ministry for World Food Day. \u201cWe want to introduce concepts more closely linked to nutritional aspects and the need to lead a healthy life,\u201d said Undersecretary Manlio Di Stefano at an event organised in the Ministry\u2019s canteen in conjunction with […]","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[44],"class_list":["post-57330","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-eventi","tag-energia-ambiente"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57330","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=57330"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57330\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=57330"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=57330"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.esteri.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=57330"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
