#WorldWaterDay2022 recalls the importance of groundwater resources for sustaining all living beings. Groundwater is key for food production. For this week the community of our campus can calculate the water footprint of its own meal in our bars and canteens. @PolitoSust

One month ago we participated as Sustainability Partner in the event @ItTasty to engage the youngest generations in meeting solutions for reducing food waste. We shared our watertofood.org/play-with-da… to help figure out the water footprint and the virtual water network of food waste
Taking care of water resources is a valuable mission for all of us, despite the scientific background and the career stages. Here there are our senior researchers. Follow us to discover more!
