Its hard to believe that this used to be a lush Green Landscape the last time any significant amount of rain fell here was 3 hours and. Since then things have gone from bad to worse on the world familys farm grain cant grow and the livestock have nothing to graze on. 15 cows are being loaded on to the transporter today theyre quite well fed so theyll still 3rd try and decent price.

Many australians dont want to talk about Global Warming and Climate Change including farmers though one might think they would feel the impact most directly theres no point in sowing in this dust the seeds would just be blown away by the where. Periods of unpredictable rainfall and high temperatures are growing longer and more frequent. Still climate scientists like Lesley Hughes find it hard to get their message across certainly some that are that are cynical of the science that dont like to feel that that humans are responsible for Something Like this the science can be confusing if People Choose not to try to understand it but its also a fact that a stranger still relies very heavily on coal and other fossil fuels for a healthy economy it doesnt really matter where we look Climate Change is right in our faces right now. Neal west card is unpopular with his neighbors his friends and even his family hes one of the few farmers here saying we have to accept that Climate Change is real i think its unfortunate that. Climate change is something that is so polarizing. 30 said. Its the worst year in one care for the out there and you cannot talk a tendency to think thats the rush if it was a problem it is a detail you are going and actually scuttling a lot of things that should be happening to stop what might happen in the future.

I did hear talk but meanwhile they have ample reason to be proud of her. And as the saying goes the rice farmers of lump of love how to turn straw into gold. Because burning it would be a terrible waste. And on this weeks global snack we head to the middle east to try out a traditional treat. Every evening people gather on a street in downtown philemon ia a city in the autonomous kurdish region in Northern Iraq to strong chat and eat. Carline israel opened his stall a year ago.

Thats about 0. 80 a business is best on the weekend to laymen it is well known for its lively nightlife. But also its different every day sometimes i sell 100 sometimes 300. A city and region have been recovering from years of war most recently the onslaught of the socalled islamic state. The situation has improved but friends people didnt go out they didnt have jobs or money but now things are looking up but it was under better people are doing it for the better it is for me too that i want to have a bunch of women in our. Car one is now its busy with plenty of gas every night of the week. Without food i always eat shifter when i come here. Its the best. Seeing as were already on the topic of food lets head to mexico in the countrys rural areas traditional cuisine is still very much an integrity part of life but for how much longer reports they catch you do not travel to mexico to meet local people who are determined to preserve their traditions in the kitchen and out in the fields. In the village of cotton as the men settle for work in the morning the women meanwhile are already hard at work theyre busy cooking the range of dishes bubbling away in their pots. Is impressive thats because in the evening theyre expecting a visitor someone whos a great fan of their cooking skills. So what are they making. Who are you. Going to herbs to the corn to make the time olives and theres the tomato sauce. The. Tamales are a Traditional Mexican dish made with a corn coated with various sources there then wrapped and cooked in banana leaves. You know better sometimes cooks every day with a mother who is 93 years old. Yet you still could you see. There they enjoy cooking. The women who work hard in the kitchen every day but they receive no money for what they do and very little recognition yet they are the ones who decide what ends up on the table each day which produce from the region is used and whether or not their families have a balanced and healthy diet. But the women here in cardenas are getting help from a Nongovernmental Organization called d a i it promotes traditional farming methods the n. G. O. S run by a Single Family father mother and son have been working together for years. That it only works because i mediate between the 2 of them. Respect is very important to each of us has our own area of expertise. In the town of santiago open are a few hours drive away da i is hosting a local trade fair for seeds farmers from the area are presenting their best corn and pumpkins the goal is to promote local crops and traditional farming methods and also to protect biodiversity. Showing the rich variety of crops that are grown here and all the different colors. Each color is good for a particular dish or drink. Each corncob has its. And a reason why it should be grown. And each corn crop gets registered at the fair with the finest name the color of the crop and how many rows of corn are on each card anyone who needs a particular variety can get seeds directly from the farmer rather than buying them commercially thats making it easier. For farmers to diversify strain. Around here for example the black the red and the spotted corn have started to disappear theyre not being grown as much we want to revive these types of corn and reintegrate them back into farming. The idea of registering each corncob exactly is designed to encourage the farmers to grow local for. Rather than buying industrially produced seeds. This caller was grown by we need. Hes one of the local found this. On his land all know power as the fields and here he grows pumpkins beings and above all from a nice. Thank you forest here i have yellow corn and rice and i think there are 14 rows of that. As i like to grow lots of different colors i have 4 here all together with my wife and yellow black and red. And sometimes ive had pink spotted or purples that minister more. Because they cross propagated in the field. For this rich variety and the seeds that we knew gomez used to get started were all handed down to the family or employees to my skin. This type of corn here for example has been around for a long time where my grandfather grew it and so did my father. Like this for righty never stop growing it here they say man. Corn was 1st cultivated 5 the Indigenous Peoples of mexico thousands of years ago despite the many alternatives available these days most farmers here prefer to use seeds from the region. Meanwhile use salia and recants from da i has arrived in the village of cotton us her focus is on the women in the region shes been coming to the village regularly for years. And gender roles are strictly defined in this region so its much easier for the women here to trust another woman and so we work together. But. You say yeah and the women from the village have completed a very unusual project they produce their own cookbook full of their own recipes complete with photos. There they did a book to encourage women to use the produce they grow in their gardens. And of course we wanted them to be proud of their recipes with. Each woman was asked to contribute her favorite recipe describing exactly how she prepares it and which local ingredients she uses in the book was given out for free in the village they can also be downloaded online in the evening the women present a small selection of their dishes they each show what they have been cooking today tell us your name. Luis today i made a chicken hot pot. Made from chickens that were running around the village this morning then theres a toll it are growing neal a local drink made from corn none of the women here ever dreamed that they and their recipes would one day be featured in a book working with the ngo has helped them realize that their recipes made from local produce arent just unique but even a key to greater Food Security and its also helped many women here to understand the importance of their role so that they can be proud of the work that they do each day.
