#GIVINGTUESDAY: MA DONATES TO PODERE CAMPOGRANDE @ CITTA DELLA PIEVE, UMBRIA (IT) (NOVEMBER 27, 2018)

MA visited a farm in Umbria called Podere Campogrande and came away inspired with what she experienced, having learned so much about conservation, nutrition, biodiverse eco-systems and the value of glocal communities. She decided to donate some of her time by helping out with the olive harvest and by contributing a short film as part of their Winter Aid campaign (#GIVINGTUESDAY) to help them get through the winter, and in particular, in taking care of their 17 donkeys.

#GIVINGTUESDAY (November 27) is a day of giving, of donating time, or money or goods. A day to reach out and engage in your glocal community by making participatory donations. To donate to Podere Campogrande, go to their website; under SUPPORT US you’ll find an easy way to make a donation directly via the site: www.poderecampogrande.com or contact them directly via e-mail.

She also talked about how her experience of the music industry inspired her to create a blockchain based Hub called Mycelia which promises to revolutionise how music services are managed in the future by empowering artists and promoting sustainability and transparency.
