(Baraka Agricoltural College, Molo, Kenya- 27/01/2020, Pia M., editor Giulia Z.) Day 7 of the WinterSchool on sustainable food systems starts with a short presentation of the group work conducted the day before. All groups have taken an effort to visualize their ideas and go into details on how to realize their first project ideas.

Talking about enviromental dimensions, it is necessary to take into account the moral behavior and the moral dilemma which could be faced through two main processes: deontology (when an action is based on internal moral) and consequentialism (when there is analysis of costs/benefits). But which is the best way to communicate environmental change? Could we use moralization in order to persude
