Basque Food Campus
The Food Campus of Álava, Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa will be based on the remote arrival of food and its distribution networks.
The new technology park, located in Ortuella, will occupy 50 hectares and will feature the fresh food distribution platform MerkaBilbao, currently in Basauri. It will also have other infrastructures to boost robotics, research, innovation and training in the food sector.
They have announced that the project will create 2,000 jobs and no profound criticism has been opened either left or right.
But, surprisingly, in the project that will be the main core of food in the Basque Country there is no delegation that directly gathers the voice of farmers, what if there is a landless food?
This compact project expands and adapts the current model, but does not respond to other current global challenges.
In the project, which will be the main nucleus of food in the Basque Country, there is no delegation that directly gathers
the voice of farmers, and is there a landless diet?
The project's dependence on fossil fuels is total. Direct access to the food supply highway from the outside, port and rail connections and movement forecast of 600,000 vehicles per year for distribution in Bizkaia.
Although there will be quality and health control laboratories, we know that bringing fresh food remotely means collecting products faster than the point of maturation, direct control of chemical production and ignorance of the conditions of agricultural workers.
In addition, given the increase in basic food, the project does not seek to increase local production to regain price control and open nearby sales chains.
In the area of Bilbao there is hardly any baserritars and the distribution of food is in the hands of the shopping centres. It would be interesting to know what percentage of processed, industrial and chemical food is eaten in it, its cost and impact on health.
Near Bilbao, Enkarterri is the region with the most agricultural land. It would be good for citizens to analyse the possibilities of creating employment through the creation, processing, marketing and intersectoral cooperation of food. In these 50 hectares of Ortuella, would it be possible to create and transform non-chemical vegetables for school and residential dining rooms in the region?
How many jobs would such initiatives generate? How much benefit does it bring and to whom is it distributed? For me, the food campus of Euskal Herria would be the sum of these kinds of experiences, which would bring a better quality of life to people and to the service of the planet.

We learned this week that the Court of Getxo has closed the case of 4-year-old children from the Europa School. This leads us to ask: are the judicial, police, etc. authorities prepared to respond to the children’s requests? Are our children really protected when they are... [+]
Gure lurraldeetan eta bizitzetan sortzen diren behar, desio eta ekimenen inguruan gero eta gehiago entzuten dugu harreman eta proiektu publiko-komunitarioak landu beharraz, eta pozgarria da benetan, merkaturik gabeko gizarte antolaketarako ezinbesteko eredua baita. Baina... [+]

The argument of a syllogism has three propositions, the last of which is necessarily deduced from the other two. It is with this deductive logic that I can analyze, for me, the long and traumatic socioecological conflict in Carpinteria that is taking place in Navarre.

I don't want my daughter disguising herself as a Gypsy in the caldereros. I don’t want Gypsy children at my daughter’s school to dress up as Gypsies in caldereros. Because being a gypsy is not a disguise. Because being a gypsy is not a party that takes place once a year, with... [+]
The road goes by steps, and I learned a little while ago that it seems to have already begun. But people also want to learn to fill that sentence with content. Alone we could achieve little, maybe even resignation as soon as we started. Gathering huge crowds can also complicate... [+]
Ez zuen egoki jokatu, neurriak hartu behar ziren, bestela, ez dugu ikasten. Itxuraz, ez zen ohartzen egindakoaren inpaktuaz, normal jarraitzen zuen, batzuetan, ingurukoek baino itxura zoriontsuagoz. Gainera, altuegi hitz egiten du, hori ez zaio inori gustatzen. Darabiltzan... [+]
