Le ricerche sulle piante di una giovane biologa che ritorna in Italia grazie alla Fondazione Armenise-Harvard

Firenze-Boston, 18 maggio 2011. Dalla comparsa dell’uomo la sfida è sempre stata quella di conquistare nuove terre, rendendole abitabili, coltivabili e fonte di sostentamento.

La sfida dunque è cambiata: adesso è urgente ottimizzare le aree destinate alle coltivazioni e nello stesso tempo creare nuove fonti di energia.
