In this climate of sharing three groups of entrepreneurs will be introduced, divided by areas agribusiness. The topics presented: food as a cure for the body, the organic as a lifestyle choice and the cultivation. On the stage of the Women for Expo these groups take turns, each composed of three entrepreneurs in order to make possible a lively confrontation with the help of three moderators.

To talk about food as a cure for the body there will be a chef, a nutritionist and herbalist. They will discuss different points of view to make clear how food can be a pleasure for the palate and as well as a source of well-being for the body. The second group will address the issue of organic food through some stories of entrepreneurs who have made it into a lifestyle choice. It will be interesting to see how they have managed to combine the objectives of a business with a personal quest for growth and change. The last group will address the issue of cultivation, seen from different perspectives, but with a common key: the relationship with the land.is organizing an event on women entrepreneurs and agrobusiness.
