Terra Futura is an annual exhibition/conference thatgathers the best proposals coming from civil society, institutions and businesses which are committed to the construction of a more equal and sustainable future for all.

The central theme of the 2012 edition was "Labour", since it is one of the context in which the current crisis has produces the most devastating consequences, coming to fully devalue it. On the contrary, it is necessary to give dignity and sense back to labour and rebuilding this way the meaning of "producing": the social and ecological conversion-reconversion of economy.
