“Healthy economies, well-balanced diets and a healthy environment are keys to our future.”

WASHINGTON - Today, the American Italian Food Coalition’s co-chairs, Susan Molinari and Lucy Calautti, issued the following statement in advance of this year’s G20 Heads of State and Government Summit, which will take place on Saturday, October 30 and Sunday, October 31 in Rome, Italy, and the subsequent 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) in Glasgow, Scotland:
