Buy Chicken Wings By The Bulk

Short - 1,900 km to reach our tables. It will not be a bit 'too much?

Carry a part of an article of TigullioVino:

Al Gore in his book "An Inconvenient Truth" has included the purchase of local foods offered directly by the farmers in the list of things to do
to give a hand to save the earth from global warming.

"It has been estimated that an average meal travels more than 1,900 km per truck, ship, and / or air, before arriving on our table, so it's much more reasonable to buy foods that do not have all that way because it often takes more calories of energy to bring the meal to the consumer than the meal itself provide in terms of nutrition ".

An invitation, this Nobel Prize-Al Gore, to work to eat foods "km zero", ie products close to home, Coldiretti who wants to pick up strongly in defense of the local product to protect the environment, but also because of the new ethical sensibility that increasingly cittadinoconsumatore manifest when buying food.

Damask Paper White & Black

fuel termite

As you know, biofuels seem to be a viable and immediate solution to the energy problem on a global scale (mainly to replace existing fuels), but now it would create another, to be produced in sufficient quantities, is should cultivate such a large extension of land to be put in serious crisis the global food supply. In addition, these crops would be planted mainly in poor areas of the planet, the ones where the intensive use of agriculture has not yet saturated the area.
find other solutions to this urgent ethically correct in respect of those without an adequate nutritional sustenance. One possible solution comes from a study that uses the example of the system adopted by the termites to produce the energy needed to survive.
We report here the news given by the Science site.

The most serious problem posed by the development of the current generation of biofuels is that to obtain a good enzymatic conversion in ethanol's raw material, have to resort to agricultural resources which also have a food destination. To avoid this problem, which has already sparked bitter controversy, we are studying alternative processes that allow for the direct exploitation of cellulose, which is a matter of interest-free food. So far, however, the processes of this type have been identified quite complex and difficult to carry on an industrial scale.

A step in this direction, however, could come from termites. The intestines of these insects - which in many regions of the globe each year, causing damage worth billions of € - is divided into several compartments, which are housed in specific communities of microbes. Each of these colonies has the task of converting the polymers of wood into sugars that can then be fermented into fuel.

Now - as reported in an article published in "Nature" - an international group of biologists was able to sequence and analyze the genetic code of these microbes, taking a key step towards being able to reproduce what happens on an industrial scale, with great efficiency in the microscopic bioreactor that is the gut of the termite.

The researchers, in particular, have analyzed about 71 million "letters" of genetic code fibrobatteri (which degrade cellulose) and treponemes (which, through fermentation to convert sugars) extracts from the intestine of a colony of termites in Costa Rica

"In theory - observes Andreas Brune of the Max-Planck-Institute for Terrestrial Microbiology - bacteria with these termites could convert a sheet of A4 paper in two liters of hydrogen. "

To bring this process to industrial scale, said Eddy Rubin, director of Joint Genome Institute (JGI) of the Department of Energy, United States, "we must find the set of genes that have key functional attributes of the demolition cellulose, and this study was a crucial step in this journey.

About the donkey's milk

Milk Donkey is a product of ancient man has always used. There are no documents that indicate the time when man began to milk the donkeys, but this activity is presumed to have originated with the birth of 'herd of donkeys. The earliest historical evidence to document the presence of suitable breeding donkey are the depictions on reliefs, dating from 2500 to . C, found in Egypt. In the same area how can we forget the beauty of Cleopatra and ambitions, Rome, those of Poppea, by their habits widely documented by historians of the time, highlight the properties of donkey's milk. Pliny
between Rome and Athens to spread recipes potions and ointments made with onion, marsh plants and asses' milk, especially considering a liquid curativ.
We must still wait for the Renaissance, the first truly scientific account of donkey's milk by the sages of the time, when Francesco І, France, on the advice of his doctors used the donkey's milk to recover from a long illness a. In the nineteenth century, in France, by Dr. Parrot of the 'Hôpital des Enfants Assistes "spread the practice of bringing babies directly to the nipple of donkey to be fed.
present, there is an interest in Italy in the milk of species other than those generally considered cows (cattle, sheep and goat). This is due to a desire to protect biodiversity, both for therapeutic needs.
occur more frequently, in fact, allergies or allergies to cow's milk components, which require the use of alternative milk.
donkey's milk is presented as an excellent food feature, please whose interest grows in many areas even up to that zootecnico.I its major areas of use are what doctor, food and cosmetic .
In medicine, the donkey's milk is used for the containment of the CMA ( allergy to cow's milk protein ) in infants and adults, for convalescence, for the regularization of the gastro-enteric flora for the prevention of cardiovascular disease, inflammatory and autoimmune in nature. In the feeding of infants
donkey's milk is a natural alternative for those who do not have breast milk.
must remember that its energy is rather lower than the average values \u200b\u200brequired by a balanced diet, but you can make easy additions to correct this defect. The benefits of feeding a baby donkey's milk can be identified in places such as the amount of lactose and the dry, next to that of human milk. Such that the load impairment of children fed with donkey's milk was estimated to be similar to that found in infants fed breast milk.

Vitamin C And Hair Color Removal

E 'born Semi Rural Network (News)

Reversal The following email came to me, a symptom that something is moving in Italy, and that it is necessary to support a "development" human, localized, ethical and healthy.

In St. Martin's Day which marks the end of the agricultural year and the beginning of a new Scandicci (FI) was created "Semi Rural Network", whose founders are 8 associations are trying to save some time biodiversity and peasant agriculture: the Association of Rural Italian (ARI), the Association for the Protection of the Italian Campaign (ASCI), Archeologia Arborea, the Italian Association for Organic Agriculture, Rural Life, the Consortium of Quarantine, the Organic Producers Co-ordination Toscano (CTPB) and the International Centre Crossroads. This is an important moment for the Italian agricultural world of associations that brings together wants to remind everyone that agricultural biodiversity must be preserved, enhanced and developed by farmers in the countryside, first of all, making it a good time out by the banks of genetic research.

The network has given a charter to support, facilitate and encourage contact, dialogue, exchange and sharing of information and initiatives among those who defend the values \u200b\u200bof biodiversity and peasant agriculture and oppose what creates erosion and loss of diversity, agriculture-based mining intensive monoculture and / or genetically modified crops.
The founders of the Network recognize that the recovery of traditional varieties and farmers must become a productive, encouraging local consumption and marketing of varieties most interesting from the point of view Food Gourmet and Economic and avoid the hype generated by surface erosion and marketing typicality.
Among its main objectives are to support recovery, cultivation, breeding, conservation, trade, development and dissemination of varieties and species and traditional peasant agricultural interest, and promoting rural innovation, including through the participatory research and knowledge exchange and knowledge among farmers, the development of rural culture, agriculture, peasants, popular knowledge, local practices, the ownership group, Community of the places, customs handed down and customs shared;
To do this it is important to be clear about which model of agriculture and the network addresses which are the farmers of reference. Speaking of seeds suitable to the territory, it means, in fact, talking about family farming and family often made in those marginal areas, such as, for example, many mountains and hills that make up ' backbone of our country or economically marginalized by the agro-industrial model. In this cultural background wants to work the web, becoming a connective tissue support and support of various local and national long been active.

Touchscreen Myelopathy



even if Prof. Umberto Veronesi, an oncologist of world-famous person of great intellectual gifts, is not one of those who are wrong to frame the issue of GMOs, it means that probably there is a lack of communication and movement of real problems as a result of which millions of peasants struggling against their spread around the world. Happening yesterday, TG1, when in-studio guest is interviewed on the role of genetic research to fight cancer and is spent for research on GMOs in agriculture. Spurred on this topic, Veronesi says there is reason to be opposed to GMOs because there is no proof of harm (but not, say, a proof to the contrary), and already millions of people use them daily. Then gives an example that cuts the bull's head: it is thanks to a genetic modification in bacteria, obtained by implanting human genetic traits, which can now be cheap to produce insulin for diabetics.

fact, the point is this: genetic research is important, should not be mortified if his goals are the human health and the improvement in quality of life, especially since the creation of artificial variety is a genetic crossing all effects and is as old as agriculture. The varieties are selected by humans have proved very effective in some cases, since they are able to optimize the strength characteristics of the climate in areas where cultivation is difficult, or to improve crop yields, as was done with technical-scientific-but-traditional Nazarene Strampelli all 'beginning of the twentieth century. In many parts of the world, however, this vast wealth has been wiped out by industrial varieties, and now that you need it, do not try to recover the traditional ones but are investing billions of dollars to create new ones. Genetic research focused, quality-controlled by the world she is addressing-that is, farmers and consumers-would certainly be desirable. Behavior dill unfair doppiogiochistici, hypocrisy and greed for power and money we do not really need.

The problem that no one touches it, then even the great-Verona-invests the sphere of power of transnational corporations that produce GMO seeds, and the rights of farmers. Usurpations, collusion between private companies and governments, tensions and violence related to such conflicts, violations of rights, economic subjections poor, even extermination of communities through a radical appropriation of their lands and massive infiltration of economic and social balances in their outsiders who disrupt their culture. No one from the CRT, looks into Italian homes to tell them that, while the pathogenic risk associated with GMOs is only a possibility for the future, the enormous socio-economic imbalances brought on by companies of 'agribusiness are an immediate problem is pervasive. It makes no sense to spend billions of dollars for research that enslaves or destroys ancient cultures, especially if they already have a boundless knowledge, are the custodians of biodiversity for humans is only an advantage and are actors in a ' sensitive agriculture, linked to land, natural, intrinsically ethical because it pursues human needs, not corporate balance sheets.

If the prof. Veronesi is truly interested in the lives of human beings, must be aware that GMOs are not life, and will not be sown by hand until hypocritical in pain and blood of the poor.

Retail Floating Shelves

Two minutes to Greenpeace, two petitions for the environment

Here is an email of Greenpeace Italy for those who have not received it, in it is invited to participate in two cyberazioni or email to send pre-populated in the text (it is just to fill out the form master) to support the position of European Commissioner for the Environment against GMOs, and to invite some large retail chains in Italian supermarkets not to sell more in its incandescent light bulbs.

A minute of your time to defend Europe from GM


Hello,

First of all I apologize for the "mail bombing" of recent weeks, but this is a really urgent communication. And your help is essential.

On 25 October the European Commissioner for Environment Stavros Dimas has challenged the agro-business companies by refusing to allow the cultivation of two varieties of GM corn. The pressure of the companies in the sector is however very strong and this courageous decision to protect the environment and consumers is likely to be overturned by the European Commission.

The Commission will meet in coming days. We have all along supported the position expressed by Dimas and to understand clearly that we are opposed to GMOs.
Write to the Commission President Manuel Barroso and Commissioner Dimas, Kyprianou, Fischer-Boel and Mr Frattini. And ask them to stop the cultivation of GM crops in Europe!
http://www.greenpeace.it/ogm/dimas

I remind you that during this period, there is another cyberazione in Italian to ask the supermarkets - Coop, Auchan and Esselunga - to eliminate incandescent bulbs from the shelves, wasteful and hostile climate. After 10 days we are more than 3000 emails sent. But we must do much more. Join now!
http://www.greenpeace.it/incandescenti/scrivi.php

Spin this email to your friends or colleagues!

What Store To Buy L Glutatione Soap

Too much meat, cows pollute more than the machines.

"If we think that the production of a kilogram of beef causes emission of greenhouse gases and other pollutants equivalent to that obtained driving for three hours while leaving all the lights lit in the meantime the house, we can well understand how powerful the choice to consume less animal foods, more powerful than any other choice the individual can do. This would lead to many positive side effects: a healthier diet, better quality air, greater availability of water, a rationalization of energy use and production of food. "

The news is part of a study entitled" Food, livestock, energy , climate change and health appeared in the Lancet of 13 September, a prestigious international scientific journal.
do not think the steaks cook in our houses than we need. Let us think of how much meat is cooked food packaging products industry we do not no need, how much remains unsold every day in supermarkets; how much is wasted for industrial food for dogs and cats to those who churn out burgers daily fast-food restaurants around the world, and especially where there are no more gastronomic traditions. It 'obvious that there is a problem of overconsumption meaty because there is a problem of overproduction, in which industries remedy stimulating our taste and our eating habits to distort. Are we not in need of meat every day, but farmers need to sell it forever. Too much meat also means diseases, and social costs, increased tax burden, the burden on the health care-or, where there is no welfare state, incurring significant costs borne by the families, impoverished, debt-.

Letter Welcoming New Doctor

Firefight between activists and the Brazilian sentierra

The same news the previous post, dedicated to Syngenta, was also given by the International Herald Tribune. Here is the entire article, given his character documentariale

Two people were killed or are during a gun battle: the activists have been addressed by men armed when the first invaded a farm owned by the Swiss has been a flashpoint in the debate over biotech crops, the concessions and the society. A security guard and an activist were killed by rounds of gunfire Sunday at the farm owned by Syngenta AG, a multinational company with an overriding interest on genetically modified seeds. Agencia Brasil news agency said four activists were injured and as many security guards. The details on the clash were still unclear, but the state government of Parana said seven guards were arrested, assuming possible charges of murder. As was explained by the state government, the police the following Monday it was still off-farm to prevent further violence, while, as stated by the Movement of Landless Workers (MST), the activists-including members of 'MST and Via Campesina, the group had fired the fireworks when they enter the farm, and later a bus arrived with armed people.

It would be awarded a shootout, though, the spokesman said the company Medard Schoenmaeckers-Swiss Syngenta's contract with its security company required the guards to be unarmed. This has described the episode as "a very dramatic and violent confrontation, from which we realized that there were some deadly injuries." While the Brazilian national government supports the use of GM seeds for some crops, Parana's state government recently outlawed GM corn and has tried repeatedly to stop the farming of Syngenta. The spokesman of the Movement of Landless Workers, Maria Mello said that the invasion of Syngenta was part of an offensive strike "multinationals in the agribusiness sector whose presence in Brazil away in time the swift implementation of agrarian reform ". The group intends to also "put an end to the harmful effects of genetically modified products and increasing their presence in Brazil," said Mello.

group sentierra, a consolidated political force in Brazil, uses the invasion of private property to pressure the government to distribute land to the poor. Via Campesina claims to represent the rural poor and indigenous communities in 56 nations. About 300 activists had invaded the first time the farm in March 2006, breaking down the gates and plants tend to advertise their message, according to which the research carried out there on soybean and GM maize is illegal. They remained in place until July, when Syngenta won a court order to expel them. "The company Schoenmackers-said-he has never done anything wrong or illegal in Brazil", and is still pending a decision on the future of the farm. He added that there were employees of Syngenta when the collision occurred.

Syngenta was created in 2000 when Novartis AG and AstraZeneca PLC merged their agribusiness. The company's website says that 60% of corn and soybeans has grown from their gene-modified traits.

The clash at the Syngenta farm took place just days following a rail blockade imposed by at least 1,000 activists of the MST, a question that is used to export iron ore from a large mining complex. The blockade forced the Companhia Vale do Rio Doca SA to abandon ship loads up to about 250,000 tons of iron ore from the Amazon to the Atlantic ports, from where it would have been shipped throughout the world. The activists blocked rail removed after the federal authorities have agreed to meet this week to discuss their demands, ranging from a more rapid land reform public works.

The Ottobar last 21, in Parana, Brazil, a group of armed guards hired by contract on behalf of Syngenta, the Swiss transnational industry that produces genetically modified crops and seeds, invaded the camp of Tierra Libre belonging to the Brazilian Movement of Landless Workers (MST), which is affiliated with Via Campesina. Men have entered the armed and have shot dead Valmir Mota de Oliveira, also known as Keno, a leader of the MST, injured several other people, and have threatened to kill other workers in the field of the earth.

long as we tolerate these acts of violence perpetrated against the poor and defenseless in the name of financial gain?
Coordination is now asking to join forces to protest against Syngenta's offices in all countries where it exists, the expropriation of land currently used by Syngenta, the expulsion of the same from Brazil, and the assurance that The Brazilian government will ensure the physical safety of farmers threatened with weapons.

Main : official website of Syngenta, the news as reported by 'International Herald Tribune (we'll deal now in development), a article on the illegal distribution of seeds of maize in USA, with an official apology from Syngenta ( here a study on the same news), a in another article that mentions illegal experiments by the Swiss their fingers in the south of Brazil.

Places In Belfast To Get A Formal Dress

The future goes to the Farmer's Markets

There is a big problem the world market of food: everything must go everywhere, in the name of two things, one of the economic growth of the producer and the other by the consumer of the right to dispose of every good imaginable.
And 'certainly nice to eat the precious alpine cheese or a slice of Dutch cheese, as it is beautiful in the world can buy Italian pasta, which is the only decent, but the achievement of this apparent form Justice of the market hides some serious consequences. The first is that good food was born in the culinary traditions of a place, to be exported, it must increase its industrial production such to withstand the demands of a market gradually widening, according to the law of growth. This will lead inevitably to a diminution of quality, since the traditional techniques will replace the criteria of convenience and compromise typical of the food industry, which demeans the genuine name of portability in long-range, shelf life and tastes of approval . The second consequence is that the price of the product will affect more and more transportation costs and any customs duties or increase the volume entering the air transport huge quantities of fine particles (the trucks are diesel powered and are not environmentally friendly. ..), blocking the streets and thus increasing the risk of accidents, among other things, the greater the range of export, there are multiple steps: this leads to an impoverishment of the producers to the benefit of intermediaries. The third is that the product and the territory will lose their exclusive relationship, intimate: a historically determined relation, which is then be studied with scientific research criteria, but that also means the possibility of developing a food-related tourism.
This would require a re-balance a link between producers and consumers, who prefer direct and trustee of the typical artisan products (although many productions in the meantime will go to the size small industry), the seasonal and typical of the raw materials of a place. All this is called the farmer's market, literally, from the English, "market factor". The farmer's market is an idea kind in the United States, which in some European countries is already a widespread reality, but we-of course-is still a mirage. But something starts to move.
Monselice A (PD) was inaugurated on Friday the headquarters of the Consortium "Agrimons" an excellent example of Italian farmer's market created by the commitment of thirty companies, present-past president of the consortium Mauro Bertin-Minister for Agricultural Policies Paolo De Castro, President of Coldiretti Calaon Padova Marco, the director Walter Luchetta, the trade commissioner of the City of Monselice Bruno Cama and Councillor provincial agriculture Luciano Save.
The farmer's markets have been introduced to the Finance Act 2006. What we now need to reasonably expect is a boost to the initiative, which, without taking major market share to competition, but would create a fair local market, lower costs, increase revenue with the consumer but the producer. Currently, the regulatory framework for farmer's markets, is underway by the Government an agreement with the ANCI (Association Naz. Italian Municipalities). Buy local, especially if you can do it directly from the manufacturer, means knowing what you eat. Also, is an ethical and responsible trade shows in the wake of social justice from which too often leaves the food industry.

Greenpeace in favor of wind power

you toss and turn a short news released by Greenpeace Italy, considering that the topic of wind energy, the center of many discussions and controversial, is not easy to clarify. Waiting to address it we Yogurt, we let you get an idea of \u200b\u200bwhat claims the largest international association for the protection of the environment.


Rome, Italy - Greenpeace today launched two video pro wind energy. Made by director Francesco Cabras and products by Greenpeace in cooperation with Film Ganga, the two films - available on You Tube - were shot in Tuscany and Sardinia. To show that wind turbines are not only useful, but can also be beautiful. And in harmony with the landscape.

One of the main objections about the impact on wind energy landscape plants and shovels. Greenpeace today these two videos shot respectively Aggius Scansano in Tuscany and in Sardinia, to show that the wind turbines are not only a necessary step for the energy future of our country, but they can integrate seamlessly with the landscape.

What Happens When I Take An Ativan

Curiosity ... Cocoa

The cocoa tree did not exist in the Old World and the Europeans knew him only after the discovery of America. The first was the same as Columbus, but it was not particularly impressed, he struck just the fact that Native Americans would use it as seed money.
in 1519 when Hernando Cortez landed in Mexico, chocolate was the national drink of the Aztecs, however, and it was bitter and very, very hot, due to the addition of chili. Yet it was not immediately appreciated by the Spaniards.
Later the late sixteenth century, eliminated the red pepper and sweetened with sugar, chocolate conquered Spain.
At that time the chocolate paste, crushed cocoa, sugar and spices such as vanilla and cinnamon (to be consumed was then diluted with hot water), was prepared in great secrecy in the American colonies and at sea, challenging pirates, arrived in Europe.
In short, the chocolate drink became irreplaceable. Even, on occasion was reason to clash with the Catholic Church: During the religious was a bustle of maids who came into the church to bring hot chocolate to the ladies who listened to the sermons, so that a bishop threatened excommunication of anyone who had consumed the drink in the holy places. Then the question arose, resolved after many controversies, break the chocolate when fasting or not, that is, if it could be consumed first Eucharist.
For nearly three centuries, chocolate was only a drink, only appeared in 800 bars and chocolates, and again after the chocolate eggs.

Cooperativa de Trabajadores Rurales

" The cooperative is the home of each of the neighbors and friends participating in the cooperative and producing"

(Zuray, a member of the Cooperative).

are recognized primarily as trabajadores , workers, because "we do not own nor farms or businesses, nor do we have a job or live in public administration the work of others, if not of our own efforts (... ) which is free, without masters, (...) decent, free of exploitation, is shared, for everyone. This Is the word "cooperative." We work in the fields, the farm and in the struggle for land .
La Cooperativa de Trabajadores Rurales involves a dozen families who come together to organize workshops popular education and working groups: there is a group for the garden, one for marketing, an engineering, the latter group belongs to Ramon: "I feel I live in a different way (...), producing individually. For example, I'm selling the milk, I go from house to house with one cow. I climb into homes to sell one liter, two liters - the cow that gives me - and I live in this livelihood ", the cooperative's products are sold to a consumer group is organized in the same network at the headquarters of the cooperative, so as in markets and small supermarkets.

production system and also the choices life of the companions of the Cooperative are animated by principles proposed as alternatives to the model of capitalist production and life: from study groups to raise the general level of education of poor children, the "day of the child" - because there must be a time to the game and the relationship between parents and children - the spread of the heritage of popular culture through traditional dances to the use of natural remedies in place of traditional medicine industry.

However, the system is hampered by serious problems, in which the contrast between concrete and agriecologia agrinegozio (capitalism in the primary sector): first, the cooperative's products have higher costs than large companies, and secondly they fail to meet the needs of large quantities of products expressed by large retailers (eg. supermarkets); Add to this the problems resulting from low fertility of the land, linked to the disappearance of the most fertile and most superficial layer of humus, the so-called tierra negra.

Socialism fellow of the Cooperative part, evidence is building talking with their neighbors, discussing daily problems: no enlightenment, no health care, roads and a derelict school 3 km away to walk, in a historical transition characterized by the gradual disappearance of small properties and phenomena of abandonment of the countryside and urbanization, the Cooperative has " delivery is very important, which is to turn back to work in the fields .

Stream Play-mate Of The Apes For Free

in Argentina for our rivers, our land for our future

It is worth dwelling on some sentences in a statement made by Regional Argentina-Uruguay, which met last October 7 in the town of Nueva Palmira. The world uses Latin words and expressions that Europe is not able to enter their custom. The peoples of South America in the skin a visceral connection with the land and a carnal instinct not to trample on other's freedom. We, we make a strong ancient history and the invention of democracy and human rights, we fail to do so.
"We can not accept a model based on the devastation and the ongoing looting of our natural assets. Because the spread of monocultures, the daily forestierizzazione of the earth, and the installation of industries pollutants in the region, are causing irreparable damage, beyond degrading treatment of subjection to policies that do not have anything to do with our way of life, our dignity, with our inescapable duty to build a world that covers the needs and desires of all. Companies like Botnia, ENCE, Stora Enso and Isusi are nothing more than the emblem of a fierce and irrational capitalism that ignores borders and sovereignty. Because we are supporters of a regional model that respects life, human dignity and work. "
We should probably think about this intransigence of the Latin American peoples to be dominated, to be expropriated land as much dignity and the future. Why hope you do not mortgage the false dreams of multinationals, nor is auctioned on the stock exchanges in the world.

In search of lost biodiversity

pandas, elephants, whales, lions ... They are all animals that are part of the imaginary town as a species threatened with extinction. Who, at least once in their life, did not stop to think wistfully: "How bad would a world without lions in the savannah and no whales in the sea ..."?
really touching.
bet, however, that no one ever stopped to think how bad would a world without radish in the salad without rosemary sull'arrosto
... There is nothing to laugh: some types of plants are endangered and, ironically, often it is the species most commonly used, but the man, a good problem solver primate, found a solution for that, or the banks semi ... (and its seeds means the seeds of plants!)
The phenomenon has spread in recent years all over the world, including Italy, in Pavia, was born in 2005 Lombardy Seed Bank (LSB) that deals with the conservation of the natural vegetation through the case of seeds of plants and vegetation in general. It is estimated, in fact, that by 2050 at least 100,000 of the approximately 300,000 species of higher plants living on Earth could extinct, a few hundred thousand in Italy and in Lombardy.
In India, however, in 2006 Chamarajnagar District, State of Karnataka, was held on the International Day of the seeds, organized to inaugurate the Bank of seeds originating, and especially to understand that only the farmers cultivating their seeds without originating pesticides, herbicides and chemical fertilizers, can break the vicious circle of dependence on multinationals and wear and go back to being self-sufficient.
In an effort to conserve biodiversity so threatened, sometimes you walk in ways that only a few years ago would have seemed paranoid science fiction films from catastrophic in Svalbard, Norway, about a year ago lays the foundation for the creation of a seed vault carved into a mountain Arctic. The deposit should ensure the long-term survival of vital food crops in the world, following the guidelines of a wider strategy that aims to protect the food supply by collecting seeds from every corner of the globe.

This would require a re-balance a link between producers and consumers, who prefer direct and trustee of the typical artisan products (although many productions in the meantime will go to the small size of the industry), the seasonal and typical of the raw materials a place. All this is called the farmer's market, literally, from the English, "market factor". The farmer's market is an idea kind in the United States, which in some European countries is already a widespread reality, while we -Of course-is still a mirage. But something starts to move.
Monselice A (PD) was inaugurated on Friday the headquarters of the Consortium "Agrimons" an excellent example of Italian farmer's market created by the commitment of thirty companies, present-past president of the consortium Mauro Bertin-Minister for Agricultural Policies Paolo De Castro, the president of Padua Coldiretti Calaon Marco, the director Walter Luchetta, the trade commissioner of the City of Monselice Bruno Cama and Councillor provincial agriculture Luciano Save.
The farmer's markets have been introduced to the Finance Act 2006. What we now need to reasonably expect is a boost to the initiative, which, without taking major market share to competition, but would create a fair local market, lower costs, increase revenue with the consumer but the producer. Currently, the regulatory framework for farmer's markets, is underway by the Government an agreement with the ANCI (Association Naz. Italian Municipalities). Buy local, especially if you can do it directly from the manufacturer, means knowing what you eat. Also, is an ethical and responsible trade shows in the wake of social justice from which too often leaves the food industry.

against the overconsumption of bottled mineral water

toss and turn to our readers Altreconomia's appeal, which became public awareness campaign and is now poised to become the bill.

We Italians are the first consumers in the world of mineral waters.
Every year we drink almost 190 liters per capita, on average. And outside the home, in public places, drink bottled water almost exclusively. They are often the same operators that, when we ask a pitcher or a glass of tap water, we are told not to serve potercela, even though no law prohibits it.

The campaign Imbrocchiamola! " asks you to point out restaurants, local pastries, bars that serve tap water and to tell those who do not.

A tool to raise awareness of the use of tap water which is good, controlled, comfortable (come home) and inexpensive.

same time, Altreconomia has also initiated a campaign against advertisements on bottled water. To understand the terrible business that revolves around a liter of mineral water, suffice to say that the bottlers in 2005, spent the beauty of € 379 million in advertising. They need it because the competition, tap water, is very competitive, and if the public were not hammered by so many commercials it would buy much less. In fact, bottled water competes with a common good, except that-unlike the private-water systems do not invest any money to advertise their service.

Without thinking of reducing the freedom to produce and sell mineral water, one could not legitimately think instead of limiting the intrusiveness advertising?

to defend the water of the aqueducts (good, controlled, convenient and inexpensive) and secure the future perhaps it is necessary to limit the intrusiveness of advertising mineral water.

Put outlawed. Advertising, not mineral water.
What do you think?

The biological needs French aid

We met last Friday's first national conference dedicated to the French biological beyond the Alps that has only 1, 8% of the cultivated area and has a market trend now stagnant. The working group expects to reach 6% of cultivated areas by 2012 and 20% by 2020. The problem, however, is that organic farming is a method of culture was born and raised in the wake of the market economy, and therefore does not eliminate all the distortions. For example, the serious environmental impact that the transport system has food or chains are too long and none of the two problems are actually addressed by biological, simply because it is dedicated exclusively to the cultivation techniques, and not the economy, society and its consumption habits or the political and intellectual world.
What is needed instead is groped the chance to ask the question with which to question just what we take for granted: we can change the system of production, distribution and sale? We can return to a localized production and consumption, rooted in the specificity of the area? We can make agriculture more just? Until
one is a view deregulated economy in which we live, in fact, is expected following a vicious circle that's not good, how can I do? The growth, development, it increases. When there is something wrong, like you do with a patient who does not respond well to treatment, the dose is increased; worse? It increases again. What you do not understand is that the drug itself to make it worse, so we should simply withdraw. This is the chance, questioning what we believe is right or inalienable and unchangeable.
Obviously it is good that our countries will increase the share of agriculture designed to organic production, it is also time to stop believing, however, that This will put us safe from the many other problems that our own economic and productive system creates.
So you just have to think of change as a viable alternative.

Sarkozy, the French environmental questions

Francesco Panzetti

We did not used to it, the rest of us, in these consultations, the fact is that Nicolas Sarkozy is starting from tomorrow, a week of questions to the French national on three key issues: organic farming, GMOs and pesticides, and greenhouse gases.
"The French drivers are willing to accept more restrictive speed limits on roads and highways to reduce emissions CO2? "," French consumers are willing to spend more on food over the next 13 years to permit the development of organic farming? "," French farmers are ready to bloccaqre pesticide use? ". These are some questions that French citizens will have to answer.
Whatever one may say some political opponents, this is an important step in the policy of a nation, which requires extensive choices and the awareness that we can have a negative impact on the wealth of certain categories of producers as well as including them requires an awareness by the citizens.
We take note of one thing: that we will talk a lot about politics in the window, but you can not see the facts, while Italy seems to have an even greater need of a new Gracco that fundamental reform agricultural and livestock sector. The reviled Sarkozy, who always has the "stigma" of belonging to the right, do what Pecoraro Scanio, a minister, he never did.
one of two things: either the right side of the Alps is not like ours, or our left as is our right. Tertium non datur.

Agriculture unsustainable: the origins of the problem


The alternative "farming"

Enrica

organic agriculture, ecological alternative, are synonyms used to express the same concept applied to agriculture farming techniques modeled on the rhythms of nature and its laws.
The development model of Western societies, when viewed in the long term, it is untenable for the natural production capacity of agricultural soils. Indeed, we have witnessed since the war, first in the processes of urbanization and consequent building that led to a contraction of the UAA (utilized agricultural area) total, and the other to a higher demand for food in dealing with 'Population growth and the growing prosperity. And indeed, despite the UAA has been substantially reduced, the productivity per hectare has increased. Agriculture in industrialized countries has managed to make up for the antinomy "declining area" - "increase earth products, intensification of agricultural practice and the introduction of input in the farms. For those inputs are all inputs of energy and resources (synthetic chemicals, machinery) in agricultural production unit, which is in addition to those natural energy such as solar energy conversion is essentially organic and sustenance provided by organic and mineral elements in the earth.
The paradox of this reality is essential therefore that the solution has been reached to manage it, a solution that satisfies the needs of man, but the nature of sterilization, as means to intensify agricultural practices that exploit the resources of the land and then inexorably depleted of chemical and biological properties.
In a framework of interventions, especially in the past have been so little attention to the responses of the ecosystem, is part of the alternative of organic farming, which aims to optimize the direct and inevitable between agriculture and the environment, do not forget that agriculture is the form of land use and larger farmers who are entrusted with the vital task of dealing with the territory and all its resources.
The research in this area, there is not an easy target acquisition, which is to select varieties resistant to pests and pathogens, health, good taste, which develop appreciable volume production to set a cost-effective speech, and all without polluting.

often the most difficult to resolve is what concerns the income. Crops It leads to biological production quantities for obvious reasons less than those of traditional agriculture - in most cases - and perhaps is also why I am for now a reality in a minority: in Italy, the area under organic farming amounted to 1,052,002 hectares, ie 8% of the total UAA (source: SINAB 2003).

Francesco Panzetti


later in a supermarket, and I head to the bar of yogurt: a huge gaping jaws thrown out cold for about fifteen meters , consuming an enormous amount of current to produce heat that is lost in much of the environment. If he counters, would consume much less.
Back to yogurt product, for example, with German milk because cows milk are Italian but are ignorant and do not know the business, while fellow German already marching toward Brussels furious, so we must convince our own to produce less ... German trucks traveling to Italy to give us the milk that we have, travel miles and burning gasoline. Ah ... Gasoline, Oil! Prehistoric corpses. The trucks travel with diesel fuel to produce as corporations (including ENI, also AGIP) trample the rights of the poor of the world and foment wars. Heads of men, women and children roll, but we want to still deliver milk to German to replace what we already have. How wonderful. I am sick of the yogurt and step forward. I think, if I buy vegetables I make a healthier breakfast, light and not do wrong to none.
I buy the tomatoes. Belli, come from Spain. And ours? Where do they go? Not enough? But if the farmers will crush the tomatoes with the tractor because nobody buys them? And how many hydrocarbons were released into the air to travel those tomatoes from Spain to Italy? Other heads roll: I think in the wells on fire Kuwait and Iraq, and I began to turn ugly. Ah, but no ... you see that there are those Italians? They are in Campania, they cost 30 cents per kilo from the farmer, I 2 €, arrived in Sicily and Emilia and placed in a plastic tray, then go back where they started (and other pennies to Benetton and oil companies ). Next time I swear that the tomatoes they buy from the farmer under the house ... But I live in the Naples area: there seems a good idea to buy vegetables or fruit of my campaigns, where the Camorra ignited piles of garbage every day? Where the ground, air and water are full of lead, arsenic, cyanide, mercury, barium and asbestos? Where the dioxin blood is 30 times the upper limit set by law? I do hunger and hunger as well face the farmer.
I could use a pound of pears. Pere. In the territory of a single village in the countryside of Molise, once there were more than twenty varieties. I've been told the farmers. Today the market last only a few quality that earns us the farmer to sell three crates of pears that produces only him? Well, those three boxes are called biodiversity. It is nature plus the farmer multiplied by hundreds of years and dozens of implants and intersections. Genetically Modified Organisms in all respects, but with the stamp of Mother Nature: no microscopes, but only grafts cuttings. However, since almost no one produces more, all these old varieties are lost along with that they go to the Creator. I feel like a thief to buy 'stuff is coming from so far away, I put the bag, throw the gauntlet and move on.
There are biscuits. Mica also kill someone with them? I read the ingredients in search of evidence of criminal acts: nothing, only malted flour. I then the question arises: but what meal? The issue of grain is not so simple: the farmers cultivated their corn, what Nature gave him for thousands of years and then at some point came the gentlemen who said their "buy these seeds are a whole other thing ". Now they can grow only those that are sterile and require them to buy new ones every year ... You are Indian and your always cultivate the Neem tree, then one day comes and multinational WR Grace patented ... you, that there the 'you have the house for a century, now you have to pay to grow it. Also in India, Monsanto stealing patented seeds to farmers and the flour produced from this grain as well as the mix and "biscuits or other products from the flour ..." ... Biopiracy! Waiver of biscuits.
Meat? Not even talking about it. Swell steers and cows to fill their muscles with water, to increase their weight and its gain. But if you put a 100 gram steak in the pan and you will find yourself in a water bath 50, there is something wrong. Not being able to complain to the beasts - who, poor things, for being so swollen and pressed, emit a lot of diseases whose costs are visited upon us - the farmers will go under the house with a pitcher of brew vaccine in hand, "give me back the money. "
I leave the store empty handed and with his tail between his legs. I do not eat more? There is no other way? Well ... maybe you can do something to contact them, cultivating their awareness and guide choices in harmony with an ethical principle of responsibility and justice. And then talk friends, show them some nonsense of the market, turning their anger in a dialectic contagious.
We want to try. You prestateci ear.

BAROQUE POP-BEATRICE FEO draws from history


I call it as I have often stressed the painting of Beatrice Feo rather "pop histoire" Pop history, why does not "need" just stories Baroque and characters but a 360 ° between the Italian history and mythology and universal ... So 'as himself admits Nappa in many of his reviews about the painting movement that is generating interest, curiosity and excite collectors, gallery owners and critics are Art in Italy and overseas, just days ago a U.S. site dedicated to a beautiful article Beatrice Feo (soon to be online) defining his style "The new pop art made in Italy" ... But it was Philippe Daverio to have the very first intuition, and enter the supreme work with Beatrice Feo "Lamb of God" and the mysterious underworld and "Ophelia" at the 57th Premio Michetti among "The Baroque" ... As he shared in categories participating artists, giving a shiny and more 'than ever relevant definition for each of these. It is part of this new movement in art, the artist also Palermo Gabriele D'Acquisto (pictured left his drawing: "Semele") with uncommon talent chart, which deals with issues instead of the Holy (Saints) and the Profane (characters from mythology, like the beautiful series of "Bacchus" in a completely similar to all the prerogatives of the "B pop." Beatrice Feo was born in Palermo, from a noble family, mother, father, upper middle class, lawyers, grandparents, cousins, uncles, all notaries, or key figures in medicine, a family always immersed in the history of native nobility in the refined elegance of contemporary and ancient culture, although it should make her a notary or a lawyer, Beatrice wavers between the physician and the career of art. The artistic inspiration ... will prevail will investigate with the utmost rigor in schools and Academies of Art in Italy and abroad. Graduating with honors and with due praise. Cosi'come Beatrice begins to surround soon and win the hearts of celebrities of artists important in the history of art as Gianni Dova or friendship with Ugo Nespolo, Salvatore Provino (his teacher at the academy in Palermo), Vittorio Sgarbi, Philippe Daverio, Paul Levi, and many other Italian and international artists, many of the show, music, theater, television and culture ... Artists are able to enrich his already ricchissimo.E Beatrice loves being surrounded by them! It should be noted that many have known as Beatrice Feo abstract painter, and in effect for a period it was a true master of color (as he wrote Emilia Valencia) but we must not overlook the evidence that Beatrice was born as a figurative artist, and remains such, it fascinates el 'intriguing realism, but She goes beyond creating his own recognizable marcatissima artist who makes internazionale.Lei same breath mentions the thousand or two thousand figurative drawings executed between Palermo and Salzburg, perfect shape design of rigorous and extremely precise anatomy, (his teacher was a coroner! ) portraits of friends, his loves. Sometimes carried out even without the model front, without the help of a photo or something else, only with the memory of your face and expressions that have affected ... This graphic component that distinguishes them and Salvo Ferlito (critic ' Palermo art) always sings and puts in evidence is in fact the key to understanding this hybrid between pictorial, graphic and extremely pittorico.Una painting made of layers of color, alchemy of beautiful colors, textures and graffiature.La of contradiction reigns supreme masterpieces and makes Beatrice Feo ... always love the history, law, documents, research, is an expert semeotica perfectly aware of the meanings and mysteries everything and every symbol has roots here ... From the desire to make available, easy to read, to sympathize and modernize his characters, sometimes with humor and irreverence, sometimes with dramatic and extreme cruelty. With his temperament, which is theatrical, ironic, and passionate, but often leads to a vision of raw, deep, mystical and intimate (as in a series of beautiful "read a tramp") reminiscent of the famous Rauschenberg's bed, large artist of the Pop Art Americana.NASCE A NEW WAY TO REVISE HISTORY THROUGH HIS PAINTINGS ... What will be called by others the "baroque pop". Beatrice welcomes the establishment with great interest and enthusiasm, even with great ispirazione.Già American pop art by Warhol had made of everyday objects works of art, the Roman school was then taken as our monuments or icons such artists as Michelangelo (see Tano Festa) ... Beatrice draws in history, its culture, its people to become current and accessible, legible to all, without the boredom of school books, ranging from the French Revolution, mythology (Odysseus) music (Bach and Chopin), the majestic Federico II complete with a falcon on his arm, and icons more 'popular and sacred as (the Lamb of God, pictured top right) absolute masterpiece of his career so far, because it is an exact summary of all his artistic career by Studio-umano.Frank von Wofraum Piranesi
