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.

« My encounter with Tanzanian farmers is above all a human one. By defusing things with laughter, I was able to enter into their lives and learn an enormous amount. I’m amazed by the number of techniques they use. The farmers ingest these agro-ecological techniques and in turn share them with other families in the region».
