Sustainable mobility

The link between food sustainability and mobility is pretty tight.

The food chain's reliance on fossil fuels constitutes a critical issue, contributing to the emission of green-house-gasses and, hence, to climate change.

The Green Revolution made the agriculture strongly dependent on oil, in the form of fertilizers, pesticides and fuel, the latter used for both agricultural machineries and transportation of raw or processed foods, on the short and long distances.

The increasing urbanization – today more than 50% of world population lives in cities – determines new forms of mobility and of food distribution, therefore requiring more fuel.

The need to get free from a non- renewable source such as oil, led to investments in biofuel: the problem is that biofuel use agricultural land, a asset already so scarce but so essential for the production of food.

How do we take on the challenge of sustainable mobility?

A solution is offered by green technologies. The sun, a free and never-ending energy source, can be used for the production of clean electricity. New electric-powered vehicles, such as the ones we are using during our journey, can be charged using photovoltaic energy produced by solar panels.
