There is a remarkable interconnection between the state of soils, food quality and human health: healthy soil is the basis for the production of nutrient-rich food, which in turn is essential for well-being and disease prevention. Regenerative soils, maintained through sustainable agricultural practices, preserve biodiversity, promote nutrient retention and guarantee the sustainability of the ecosystem. This meeting will aim not only to promote reflection and action on this issue, but also, in the medium term, to create synergies for the development of practical actions aimed at sustainability.
Program:
15h40: Welcome Coffee
16h00: Screening of the documentary "Common Ground"
17h45: Debate with leaders and experts in sustainable agricultural practices and human health, moderated by Professor Paulo Valejo Coelho, Coordinator of the Sustainability Council at NOVA Medical School
