 * You have made too many mistakes. You should be especially careful of things like making the verb agree in number with the subject, irregular verbs, putting the adjective before the noun, which are errors you can avoid. We do not use "own" to translate "proprio" unless it is for emphasis -- when it is just a possessive, we use a possessive.**

Shapiro's project is that of making the food industry's behaviour change as regards the protection of the environment. Today we can say that he has got a first important result.Mars, the biggest chocolate-producing company in the world, has annunced that from now on, all the production of cacao will follow the rules of the sustainable economy: minimal salary guaranted for peasants, biodiversity in the agriculture development and preservation of water resources. This choice will be verified and certified by the ecologist organization  Reinforest Alliance. As Shapiro says:  I am convinced that, following the example of Mars, the whole alimentar industry will follow this same way.
