The sixth edition of Terra Futura - the international exhibition for the environmental, economic and social sustainability best practices - takes place at the Fortezza da Basso in Florence, Italy, from Friday 29 to Sunday May 31. The exhibition will present products and projects that have been created during these years in Italy and around the world, that embody experiences of an ethical and sustainable economy.
Promoted and organized by several Italian Institutions and associations, including the Cultural Foundation for Ethical Responsibility of the Ethical Bank (Banca Etica, Etica SGR, the magazine "Valori"), Regione Toscana and Adescoop-sc of Social Economy Agency, Terra Futura aims at promoting and enhancing a real economy - and not a "paper" one - that all what is needed to be an alternative, the path along which the change required by the system in crisis at local and global levels can happen.
