Jump from train

  • Here we come again to renew our reflection. Or at least try. Or dreaming of that. I do not know, however, what will become of the new, as it seems that the world continues with the head of its former neck. Excuse me badly: human beings are still by the same neck.

The truth is that I have heard very little information all these months. Believing I wasn't on that train, I was repeating to myself that I didn't want to get on it. Useless, against the door, but I was also the traveler. It was not easy to wake up on the train. I've been awakened by both the whiteness and the fantasy of technology.

On the one hand, the Law on the Recovery of Nature in Europe was approved in times of sale. The title you have given you is nice, it cannot be denied. However, the states will have to fill the panecillo of meats, which is full of wind. If we go into the goals of the law, the nature lover can find a nice literature; the melody of some phrases is delicious, a melody similar to the sweet songs of sirens. In any case, by decision of the States, some areas may be excluded from the application of this law for two reasons: national defence and the implementation of renewable energies. Harrapazank Txiribiton!

On the other hand, the report entitled Standing agriculture in the newspaper of 7 September stunned me; although I was in progress, I was ready to jump from the train. The center of Neiker in Derio has been the place where a controlled space of 50 square meters where plants grow at three levels. For the time being, work is being done on aromatic plants.

It does not oppose traditional agriculture; when hydroponic tomatoes appeared, the opposing voices announced that agriculture grown with the land would disappear, which has not happened. With this, the same thing. I think we need freedom to work as we want, when we want to buy and with freedom.

Besides freedom, futuristic agriculture on shelves has only advantages: it can be harvested throughout the year, every fifteen days, and it can also increase production up to 50 times. And not only that, the instability of climate change will not influence them, as plants will grow in an isolated atmosphere. Automatic irrigation system, with light, temperature and humidity control at all times, as well as CO2 emissions. The name is also an advantage: indoor vertical farming. If you add Basque, champion.

Neiker launched this project in the interest of companies to improve their competitiveness in the market. Population growth and climate change have made the project a necessity. The objectives can be summarised in two: optimising the use of space and ensuring sustainable production.

Here I've died. On the train.

I was unable to withstand the fear of combining the two events.

At Christmas, consume local and seasonal and, by the way, boycott Israeli products
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.

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.

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.
