From Belém to New York, with a message we want to carry all the way to Antalya: climate commitments must become choices we can taste.

At CONVIVIUM, our partners at Instituto Regenera are bringing this vision to life through the Regenerative Coffee Experience. Every cup invites us to discover the land, the water, the hands, and the knowledge behind what we drink.

Their work with Na Mesa da COP30 helped bring family farmers, agroecology, and Amazonian food cultures to the tables of the climate summit in Belém. Here in New York, we are continuing that conversation, looking toward COP31 in Antalya.

For us at Future Food Institute, this is gastrodiplomacy in practice: sharing food to connect cultures, recognize the people who nourish us, and turn care for the planet into everyday decisions.

A shared coffee.
A connection to the land.
A responsibility we carry forward together.

What can a cup of coffee tell us about regeneration?
This week at CONVIVIUM – Where the Future Gathers, Instituto Regenera brings coffee to the table as more than a product: as an expression of soil, biodiversity, culture, livelihoods and shared knowledge.

The Regenerative Coffee Experience connects the origins of coffee in Ethiopia, its historic journey through Türkiye, and Brazil’s central role in global coffee production.

A simple ritual becomes a starting point for a bigger conversation about how we reconnect people, places and living systems.

☕ September 21–23 | 7:00 AM
📍 CONVIVIUM, 337 E 8th Street, New York
Participation is free, but registration is required.

This September, Future Food Institute brings CONVIVIUM to climateweeknyc: a living space where food becomes a language for connection, trust and transformation.

For one week institutions, researchers, communities and partners from around the world will gather around the same table to explore some of the defining challenges of our time: food, water, climate, health, heritage and regeneration.

Because transformation happens when different forms of knowledge meet.
When global ambition becomes rooted in places.
When dialogue becomes cooperation.

At CONVIVIUM, the table becomes an infrastructure for change.

And the conversation will extend beyond its walls, with a series of special gatherings across New York dedicated to health, water, cities, bioregions and peace — more to come in the next days.

🗓️New York, September 20–26.
Where the future gathers — and where we gather to shape it.

CONVIVIUM will be our home for the week, but not our only meeting place. Across New York, the conversation will continue. More soon.

We are immensely proud to see our President, Sara Roversi, once again named among StartupItalia’s Unstoppable Women 2026.

Anyone who knows Sara knows it well: “unstoppable” is not just a title, it is basically her operating system. 🚀

Visionary, tireless, generative: from Bologna to Pollica, from the Mediterranean to the world, she keeps turning food into a powerful driver of regeneration, education, impact, and future.

But today, this recognition is also for the many unstoppable women who are part of the Future Food Institute & Paideia Campus family.
Women who design, educate, connect, welcome, innovate and, quite often, make miracles happen!

Thank you, Sara.
Thank you to all of you.
The future is not something we wait for: we cook it, grow it, and build it together. 🚀
