- Lurrama will take place on 8, 9 and 10 November at the Irati fair in Biarritz. Created 14 years ago by the Basque Country Chamber of Agriculture, it aims to be a showcase for popular agriculture. Like the whole year, for three days, in a festive atmosphere, cultivation and food in the north of Euskal Herria will be the center. Visitors will find fairs of producers of houses, talks, meals and dinners, a great children's txoko, an exhibition of local mackerel breeds, etc. Lurrama is an event that is organized annually thanks to 600 collaborators, which brings together people from the world of housing and citizenship.
Today, the climate challenge is of great importance, because it affects the lives of future generations. For this reason, Lurramak has assumed the motto of Slow Food "Klima, bizia da" with the theme of 2019. We want to explain the positive effects that popular cultivation has on climate, food and health, and by acting in the place that brings it to light, we feed a broader view. Today, as climate change is one of the main concerns of society, we have the opportunity to meet prestigious experts on this issue.
Piero Sardo, president of the association Slow Food, and Valérie Masson Delmotte, co-president of the intergovernmental group on climate change IPCC, will be the salero and gazami of this edition. "Climate and biodiversity, at stake in our food?" With the title they will give us a talk, on Friday at 11 a.m. (translation assured to Basque).
Climate change directly influences agriculture and crop models in the climate. On Saturday, at 3 pm, five farms in Euskal Herria will present their daily work in favor of climate. Direct sales, diversity of productions, autonomy, soil cultivation techniques, limitation of machining... What has been done in the past can serve as inspiration for other farms. Regardless of whether this talk is given in Basque and French, translation in both languages will be assured.
We want to generate reflections on the cultivation model, food sovereignty, the challenge of climate change. Children, young people, farmers and cooks of tomorrow and today, citizens, agents, we have quotes and proposals for each audience.
Each year a county has been invited to Lurramarat, this year the Navarros have been welcomed for three days. We've organized this year's hand-to-hand number with EHNE-Nafarroa and INTIA.
