The 2023 Islands of Peace campaign for a more sustainable and resilient food supply
Virginie Hocq is this year’s ambassador for the Iles de Paix campaign. The Belgian actress and comedian has had the opportunity to discover the Iles de Paix projects in Belgium and Tanzania. Over the last few months, she has met many people who are defending a more sustainable food supply here and elsewhere: farmers, market gardeners, partners, teachers, students and volunteers. Moved by these encounters and convinced of the work of Iles de Paix, she invites Belgian citizens to join her in supporting the next Iles de Paix campaign on 13, 14 and 15 January.
