At the heart of  this conversation with Andrea Rasca , he shares his unique perspective on the future of food and the driving forces behind MoM's mission.  He cuts through the noise and gets straight to the point about how we can make real change.  We often hear the phrase 'lifelong passion’, but passions are rarely born in a vacuum.
