Culinary Argan Oil presented as 'the GREEN MEDICINE' in Prestigous Seminars in Marrakech
Last week the UN Climate Change Conference COP22 started in Marrakech, Morocco. Altough zero 'climate change' questions were asked during the 3 presidential debates in the USA, and the president - elect thinks climate change is a hoax, we at SULA NYC feel it is one of the key issues of our time. The Argan tree has weathered rough conditions and manages to attract water through its deep roots, but can it withstand an even more harsher climate, the thread of Climate Change? Anyhow, on a more general level, major conferences like these always stimulates more meetings, conferences and intellectual exchanges. One of these conferences is SIGEF: the Social Innovation and Global Ethics Forum. ( www.sigef2016.com ) This third edition along with United Nations Conference presented an exceptional line-up of 80 speakers, social innovators, entrepreneurs and philanthropists.
This edition explores innovative solutions for a better future in a wide range of topics such as Cities of the Future, Climate and the Environment, Social Entrepreneurship, CSR practices and Sustainability, Venture Philanthropy and Impact Investing, Arts and Culture and Youth Empowerment.
Prof. Dr. Mourad Errasfa, initiator of Argan research group GRETHA , Prof. of Medicine of University Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah (USMBA), Fez, Morocco presented a very interesting, well visited lecture 'Argan, the Green Medicine' .
