Description:
If you're interested in food systems, farm-to-table practices, sustainability, or climate change -- this program is for you! We'll start our trip in Florence with side trips to Pisa and Lucca, and then head south to stay at a private villa in Montepulciano for two weeks with side trips to Montalcino, Pienza, Siena, and Cortona. We'll meet with local farmers and artisans and play an active part in the production process.
