Sustainability in Rome
Food in Rome
Regional farming is less stressful on ecosystems than industrial farming. It stimulates soils to help with carbon absorption into the ground, it has less emissions because of reduced transpiration and it enables the continuation of dignity in agricultural labor. In the booklet below made by Rome Sustainability Fellows you can get ideas for shopping local as well as many more options with small local produce shops and markets that you can discover by searching online.
Properly recycling food waste is also important so take a look at our website's waste page.
Spring 2023 Rome Sustainability Fellows Mary Quirk and Daniel Kraemer created a booklet identifying locations to shop for local produce near the Rome Villa student housing, types of local produce to look for, and recipes to make with this local produce.
