She has engaged in solidarity work in Venezuela and focuses on food issues, and she lived in a working class community in Caracas from early 2016 to 2018. Schiavoni describes how she became involved in activism around food sovereignty in Venezuela. She addresses the issues of food shortages and who owns most of the major food companies.

Later in the interview, Schiavoni talks about food aid that is handed out to poor and working class Venezuelans by the government.
