Carlo Petrini Saves the World!

A few weeks ago the UK's Guardian published a list of the 50 people who could save the planet. It's an eclectic and diverse spread including everyone from activist/matinee idol Leonardo DiCaprio to German Chancellor Angela Merkel to…our own Carlo Petrini.

Being a UK publication it leans towards Brits, but it's a great way to see that interdisciplinary work is what gets anything done; this list of economists, policy makers, rabble-rousers, clergymen, entrepeneurs and, yes, food activists, is testament to the need for collaboration in working against climate change.
