Economies in the agenda for the smallest state in the world.

After the appointment for the first time a minister of Economy, Pope Francis continues to revolutionize Vatican. Agenda: economies and food self-sufficiency.

The Pope called Tchelly Regina, a teacher of the art of recycling the remains which he had met in the favela Babilonia, during a trip to Rio de Janeiro. Tchelly Regina will teach sobriety and culinary in the Kitchen of Vatican, and teach them how to cook with fruit peel, roots, vegetables, seeds.

The second step is to achieve food self-sufficiency. Pope plans to transform part of the Vatican gardens in vegetable garden. The gardens cover half of the territory of the Vatican, nearly 23 hectares in total, including 3 hectares of forests.
