Twice a month, terra viva will spotlight initiatives by individuals, non-profit and business organisations, who have adopted practical solutions to safeguard our planet. terra viva travels around Europe to meet them. The first edition tackles flooding problems, with two examples in Netherlands. The second edition is directed in Tuscany, where the residents aim at ‘zero waste’ by 2020.

EDF, the European energy leader, sponsors terra viva broadcasted every Tuesday at 15:15 CET. Thanks to this sponsoring, EDF is associated to all trailers and every broadcasting of the magazine (opening and closing), every edition is broadcasted 23 times a week.
