that

place because he was very curious about how healthy was the people living there.

They were poor, but very healthy.

No obesity, no cardiovascular disease.

Spending lots of time together, cooking together, fishing together in front of the oceans.

The sea and the oceans and the sun plays a very important role.

And then you start to read their book, Eat and Stay Well, The Mediterranean Way, that was actually the starting point of the Mediterranean dialect concept.

Do you see that?

Yeah

... because those guys were probably the ancestors of the SDGs.

And so along the journey, we have been connecting lots of world.

Our ecosystems were crossing.

Of course, we are meeting in every summit, but I see the stories that she's spreading, and she, of course, has been always supporting our students, our farmers, our innovators around the world.

And today we're here probably bringing all of those dots, all of those little stones or l- little seeds, not stones, seeds, because basically connecting all of that, we have been inspiring and training thousand and thousand of youth.

Now 12, uh, uh, one, 1,200 students are basically in our campus every single day, every single year.

And I want to connect this question with your first question, because when we started with the Future Food Institute, actually, we started, my husband and I, as food entrepreneurs, without thinking about creating an institute focused on education and becoming, let's say, focused on food systems transformation.

We started literally in a very, I would say, egoistic way, just because we understood that we were not doing enough.

And we started thinking and reflecting about all the different impacts that every decision that we were every day making was basically creating in terms of impact.

And how much every decision was basically creating a damage or something good for us, for our clients, or for our ecosystem, or for our community.

This was back in 2012, where we were just entrepreneurs running different businesses.

Can you speak a little bit to that, what you're doing there? How is that representative of something that people can actually experience as a lived experience? It's not just like abstract knowledge.
