Dear technician of the department of agriculture...

  • In the primary sector, it is observed that problems are increasing: climate crisis, pollution, high prices of raw materials or difficulties of access to land… Those of us who want to live on it know what there is, we know that the sector is getting more complicated, but they are also people who want to go on or start and what to say to them. Not to start? Or not to continue? Of course not.

We workers in the primary sector do not choose it because we economically enrich the sector, but because we give meaning to our idea and work. I say to a pastor who does not live from sheep, but lives with sheep. We are aware of the difficulties of the sector and we are certainly betting on living from it.

We enter the agriculture office, we explain our situation and the response of the technician: “Living from the first sector Buuu is difficult, for that you have to reach a UTA (annual work unit), you have to put a lot of livestock!”

We know that it is difficult, as you do.

What do we have to make a lot of livestock? They want to devote the primary sector to that, and they say, "If you don't end, you won't live from the sector." The technician was pessimistic and limited to explain our idea and project…

Is it not your job to advise and make access to the sector as easy as possible?

We have told him that we know the sector, that we know what the aid is directed at and that we do not want that path…

Should we limit the primary sector to the conditions you have said in order to be able to live from it?

Or poraiiii!

Even if you don’t like it, because it’s your job, you’ll have to help us as industry technicians!

Hunger is one of the main weapons used by Israel for the genocide of the Palestinians. On the one hand, the ban on food entering Gaza and, on the other, the abolition of Palestinian food sovereignty.

I'm not a mouse, I'm not a topo; I'm a mousetrap.
When you hear the word mammal, often the first representatives that come to mind are the biggest ones: the bear, the wolf, the deer… Sometimes the first ones to appear are the domesticated cat or the dog, or distant lions and elephants. Spectacularity usually gains competition... [+]

Pea hearing
We will soon have delicious pea tears all year round (Pisum sativum). But it is still winter and spring, the season of fresh peas almost entirely; now begins the planting of the last peas we will eat in spring. And now we're going to eat those who sowed towards October.

Gold in the head, most in aquaculture

Where is the people?
The boundary between micro and macro concepts is diffuse, and although interaction is diffuse, it also influences. Also in us. The problem comes when in the fog blindness we don't get right where we are, where the people are.
