The Orchard Bizi is a reading book for all, a manual that serves us as practical references for the production of some, but above all, this book offers a testimony of the knowledge about the garden gathered from generation to generation and updates wisdom. In addition, it recovers the specific names and rich language given to them in each place.

Jakoba Errekondo has received the science and knowledge that today are in danger of extinction. The productive model of the green revolution is a failure that is based on “hybrid and improved” seeds, under the control of agrochemical companies, the use of chemical fertilizers, the dependency on fossil fuels. This model has been culturally neglected and has sought to bury a sustainable, healthy, healthy and essential horticulture for the food sovereignty of society.

Jakoba Errekondo is a witness and activist of his life trajectory in these legacies of his ancestors and of his current knowledge. This book recognizes and values this knowledge.

Many authors have written about horticulture, like John Seymour and Mariano Bueno, but Bizi Baratzea describes our reality, the science of baserritars, in a language adapted to our culture and to our agronomic reality. Therefore, this book is a reference that we use to learn things that are complicated for many that we have been pushed into productivism (for example, using or not watering). There is a generation that has been, has lost and lost its knowledge of our heritage.

It is a learning process and this book is a travel companion to leave the prevailing productivist logic and relearn our relationship with the land, since Ama-lurra is the source of health and gives us a culturally popular character. The dissemination of these concepts is fundamental in the social change we are experiencing. What we eat, how it is produced, who and where it is produced, all of that affects the bottom. It's a political and transformative debate, because from these decisions we define how we live our social and economic relationship and how all of this affects and impacts the environment on climate change.

Jakoba Errekondo’s ongoing, popular and interactive research and dissemination work has been a strong support to increase and enhance our awareness of food sovereignty for today’s generations, but even more so for the generational handover of the future.
