For our third episode - and the second in our Sicilian series - we bring you Andrea, one of the founders of InCampagna: a network of farmers and producers working to make agriculture cool again.

Ambrogio runs a small-scale farm in Sicily. We spent three weeks there, “living off the land” and learning first hand what it means to grow your own food. Ambrogio feels privileged - he doesn’t need to leave his lovely farm to buy groceries, instead he just strolls down the hill to see what his vegetable garden has to offer that day… and trust us the selection never disappoints!

In this episode we talk to Hannah, who opened Munich's first package free shop two years ago. Hannah shares her personal zero-waste journey, how the idea for the shop came to be and how the selection of food she has on offer is ever increasing.
