Lara Gilmore on Sustainability and Marketing in Restaurants

Lara Gilmore (president of Food for Soul and co-owner of Osteria Francescana in Italy) was a key speaker at the inaugural food conference, Lengua by Gluttonomy, in Miami, where she spoke about sustainability and marketing in the restaurant industry.

The seasoned professional reflected on her and Massimo Bottura's 18-year mission to obtain three Michelin stars at Osteria Francescana, followed by eight years spent working on challenging yet rewarding sustainability projects. Food for Soul, a temporary soup kitchen project, which blossomed into an ongoing global project, and local initiative, tortellante in Modena, where special needs young adults and retired pasta makers collaborate to make and sell pasta.
