Andrea Segrè

Dean of Faculty and Professor of Comparative and International Agricultural Politics, conceived and developed the ‘Last Minute Mark’ in 1999, to recover for charitable purposes, goods (food and non-food) that otherwise would have gone unsold. In 2003 the project became a spin off of the University of Bologna, where Segrè is President (www.lastminutemarket.it). In 2010, under the auspices of the European Parliament, he initiated a campaign promoting ‘A Year Against Waste’, to sensitize the European public opinion on the environmental, economic and social waste of resources.
