At the core of her work lies applied integral ecology: an approach that does not isolate problems, but reconnects systems, territories and communities to generate long-term prosperity, resilience and collective well-being.
This vision moves beyond emergency-driven sustainability. It looks at transformation as a living, ongoing process,one that reshapes how societies produce food, educate people, govern territories and care for both ecosystems and human life.
Sustainability is no longer enough.
The regenerative transition calls for models that do not simply reduce damage, but actively restore ecosystems, rebuild social cohesion and revitalize local economies. Regeneration becomes a cultural, economic and political shift, capable of producing positive impacts over time rather than merely slowing down decline.
Applied integral ecology connects environmental health with human well-being, culture, education and governance. It treats territories as living systems, where nature, institutions and communities interact continuously. This approach allows complexity to be embraced rather than simplified, generating solutions that are systemic, adaptive and deeply rooted in real contexts.
Food is far more than nutrition. It is culture, economy, diplomacy, education and public policy. Because it touches everyone, every day, food represents the most accessible and powerful lever for systemic change. Through food systems it is possible to address climate, health, inequality, territorial development and cultural identity simultaneously, turning everyday choices into long-term transformation.
The Mediterranean Diet is not a static tradition, but a living heritage.
It is a dynamic system made of knowledge, practices, landscapes, rituals and relationships that continues to evolve over time. When treated as living heritage, it becomes a regenerative force capable of strengthening identities, protecting biodiversity and fostering new models of development rooted in history yet oriented toward the future.
Longevity is not an individual condition. It emerges from the quality of the systems we inhabit. Healthy ecosystems, resilient communities and regenerative economies form the true foundation of long life and collective well-being. The longevity algorithm is therefore ecological, social and cultural before being biological.
From rural areas to cities, from small territories to megacities, regeneration becomes concrete through place-based, people-centered development models. These models value local knowledge, strengthen communities and adapt global challenges to specific contexts, making transformation actionable rather than abstract.
