A remote bike for the last few months my family has been experimenting with cooking with my grandmas recipes largely because a lot of the ingredients have been very easily accessible to us that means very little pasta and noodles and an lot of coconut garden and draw mango rice and not just we met in bangor who before that is encouraging his community to tell unique project tone to the local and seasonal fruit. A typical traditional indian meat rice parade so with a variety of side dishes each made up of a number of ingredients. But as india has been used so too has the waits people eat meals have become foster easier and much less diverse with many ingredients even being flown in from around the world a study found that around a 100 of what it means eat. Comes from abroad. Gendron is a campaigner for the revival of traditional food a mother of 2 she set up a god in the for all the time she grows through and vegetables. From limes until easter tomatoes and ginger much of its native to india it fulfills almost all her needs. Its a cycle in the west from my kitchen goes to the tardis and vegetables come to the kitchen. Get gender and just want to be able to feed herself and her family she grows mostly indigenous seeds in an attempt to preserve and works with were trying to do the same so what people do is the least. Its shared. You dont get to you dont get to see them in the market at all and you go on as the native seeds. In our family. The force behind the movement to save indigenous foodstuffs is artist and god and so. He has founded a revival project called surge of poorer countries it encourages people to grow locally and seasonal foods that have slowly disappeared from their lives actually this didnt change but they didnt get in the game but in this so people when theyre made in the big season they would add 15. 00 to 20. 00 kind of greens in one country now it has come to poor 3 types which most of them are buying from the shops and the shops are selling what farmers are growing and farmers are growing what the seeds are people are selling come on runs a Community Garden and outskirts of bungalows in the village of. Holly it is filled with interesting crops that are hard to look at this is squash type fruit used as a vegetable and cooking as a bottle of good we have to break open the spa. The target is inside it is in the seats. So you see it can be at least 10 people is a high limit i think. It can be i dont like to 60 kilos it can feed like 23 families. As foods with a better taste and flip. Seeds talk to produce more nutritious food and vegetables many edible plants want to group around the village but will litters have lost the skills to harvest them. That the current generation doesnt know what is and is not a person the can go in for us and we want to give the mr gordon brown the landscape is not clean anymore you see a lot of construction moving around and things like that so that is the reason actually i want to revive them. And it is not just learning to forage in past months at least 15 real families have been inspired by the project they have started their own Kitchen Gardens to meet around 50 per cent of their daily needs. For good gendron growing their own food is something she enjoys doing but with that income are in this village she can see how the garden project can be important in the larger scheme of things. You know a fact that the really just the farmers dont grow their own food its more for the market so they are you know and he was taken to he had taken to this project to make them grow they dont forget and so it was i was more than happy to we. All do it might not be so important to our livelihood gender has found another sense of purpose to her garden. It has changed me as a person. Since im also working. For. So i have this Kitchen Garden has helped me is a main distress. It has helped me to unwind at the end of the day no matter how busy the day has been so i dont have to do a few minutes going and sitting in the garden just looking at the plants and everything has made a lot of change to my mind and body she hopes through the project more people are able to eat healthier and learn to respect natural and traditional systems of food again. Now india is an agrarian country but the appeal to be a farmer and practice agriculture for a living has been steadily decreasing for the last many years many of the 100000000 Migrant Workers who move from their villages to find work in indian cities used to be farmers the pandemic has thrown life out of balance for many of them some are now thinking of giving farming another. Renderer sing about how it is doing well driving a tractor but much of the rest is new to him. All of a sudden this spring he became an organic farmer working on his fathers farm and wrote just on what he is building a greenhouse. This pond is to collect rainwater the rains begin in july in this desert landscape securing a supply of water is crucial and he has so far invested 7000 euros in his new career many of a particular i mean i have almost one and a half hectares of land on which ive built a poly house and dug a pond all the work of the plastic sheeting to line the pond is yet to be completed im farming the remaining land open i have to get in. He is now back in his home village of out on cop on so after more than 4 years in the big city there he was a textiles merchant now it seems like another life. He ran a shop in surat with his brother selling fabric. Then from one day to the next their livelihood was gone it was a story true for millions of Migrant Workers across india. Defi it got all of a sudden the Coronavirus Spread it ruined our business we ended up with nothing with the look down no movement was allowed no public transport but somehow with great difficulty we managed to get back to our philip. His parents were happy to have them back home they are pleased that no render wants to stay and they are keen to support him as much as they can. Im retiring in 2 months time im giving my entire fortune to my son he should prosper here and his native land will go to iraq of mine and i was sad when he left to work in the city. The son has applied to the government for a farming subsidy but it could be months until its approved and paid out other farmers are offering useful advice. About how it plans to grow fruit and vegetables here. Came out on child areas a key source of useful advice he has already helped 300. 00 other farmers to build greenhouses and adopt organic farming methods. Instead of pesticides he recommends plastic sheeting to kill weeds and other unwelcome guests. Yet this sheep was fixed here a month and a half ago for soil solarization to control we needs soil borne pathogens and pests by covering the moist soil. Chowdhury advises colleagues for free for many poor farmers he is the only source of information about new farming methods he also teaches the basics. But other thing is to get well versed in crop and plant diseases and new farmers need to stay abreast of the markets so their crops can command good prices but not at that 1. 400. 00 greenhouses have already gone up around the village chowdhury also explains how farming can flourish when you take a circular closed loop or holistic approach. The ponds not only supply water they are also fish farms and thus provide another source of income but drip irrigation is efficient and doesnt use much water the technology was developed in israel where it is widely used. Any needed and they saying this mini israel in my village has given me confidence to turn to farming i am now sure that agriculture is a very lucrative business and organic farming is most profitable. He is enthusiastic about his prospects as an organic farmer. His brother however plans to go back to the big city. Libs would then i have decided not to return to sue rice because i will earn more here me im sure it will be twice the amount i used to earn to come along with when a bit. For an irregular sing by heart the covert 19 crisis has opened up new opportunities if all goes well his new career will benefit not only his family but also the environment. There was a time when chickens were only seen scratching in the countryside so long to open spaces thats no longer the case in the us backyard chickens are popping up in suburbs and cities and now the pandemic may ensure that this trend is here. Is a pretty. Bossy. Trudys feisty. And mary lays an egg every day. The 4 hens have been guests at the home of felicity of burkart and craig or bengal or in the northern suburbs of berlin for a year now this is how it came to pass. As a capsule i mean guns inside them all meant just that and i was once stuck in a traffic jam at some point and there was a livestock transporter in front of me. I sensed it had toys that got me thinking about what kind of lives animals leaving something then and if one could give at least a few really good life as they had off almost i wanted to get to know how chickens lived he didnt and since we have a garden i thought theyd feel right at home here on this because they would have plenty to eat and theyd also give us many us that have been doing funding. Their diet consists of grains and fresh greens but also kitchen waste. In the summertime the hens lay an egg almost every day. And to the south of berlin Mathias Schmidt an environmental engineer by profession took up chicken breeding 4 years ago he rents out the offspring of a man whos been rising and not just during the coronavirus crisis. Could get no more going to the. Keys nor the scum dollar we keep seeing scandals in the food industry. If theyre the bad eggs animal stalls sprayed with toxins that end up in food if you would to god in your mind to biopics and chicken pigs and cattle. But now im moving to where every time that happens people stop and think for a moment before what are we doing what are we eating. Berlin is home to almost 4000000 people and the growing number of chickens some big cities. Come from the countryside and find that having a feathery friend reminds them of home. But chicken love can turn sour more and more abandoned birds are found wandering the city streets this Animal Shelter has its work cut out. As a. Fool it sounds great to get fresh eggs from your own head on your right balcony the problem is most people have no idea how to look after chickens probably what they need to be happy how every species has its special needs chickens in the in a city or in my own starter in my view. If they dont belong on a balcony on the 11th floor they need space a yard imagine that it was. My ts smith does most of his business with clients in the suburbs who have gardens. He rents out for hands with a big cage stall equipment and feed for about 300. 00 euros a month. The league and family considers it educational as weve done hundreds and can not we wanted to show the children where food comes from you can put animal products dont just appear in the supermarket so this is one small way to bring the matter home to them literally where things come from meat from chickens and also eggs. Went to chick started in the United States but its catching on in many parts. Of the ts smith also rents to kindergartens cools and old peoples homes. And trudy elites and mary however are for keeps but they also risk getting eaten when the time comes their designated dual purpose poultry giving eggs and meat but will their foster parents actually do the deed. Is go. Into i dont think youll ever be able to slaughter a chick. At least not any of our 4 if we call them by their names we couldnt do it were very fond of them. So these 4 birds ended up with soft is others arent so lucky. Another advantage of keeping chickens watching them can be very very calming. Like this something the germans are very serious about its brit in fact german period is even known to miss course intangible Cultural Heritage list but in recent years the franchise because had been growing at a few one in fewer traditional businesses the big. In some parts of the country that a whole community is traditionally because but help is on its way and its called bread off expedition vehicle we join the one of the for the pandemic restrictions were put in place. And they can then leave. And his elite troops take heavy equipment into what they call the bread desert brandenburg their mission to supply this thinly populated region good decent great. Moment the current bakery situation in brandenburg a serious more and more small craft businesses are closing down. That forces people to depend on discount retailers thats called off and i wouldnt say that the discounters threat is all that good. Something had to be done before. The objective today is these into a small town of just under 6000 north of been and even here freshly baked bread is a rarity this is a job for the bread does it expedition being called a mobile bakery once used by the military in mutual switzerland where the need was probably not quite as an agent. These rides are. The swiss have 168 of these vehicles about one for every other army they were meant to supply the military and field of course that never been used the army just exercised with them. In the early 2000 all these mobile bakeries were decommissioned and sold. And i got a call that number 130. Space in the expedition vehicle has to be used optimally it has an eating machine a water tank and a gas oven the rest is done by hand. Unesco has listed german bread culture as an intangible Cultural Heritage over 3000 varieties of baked on a daily basis but the bakers who work freely independently have to climbed over the past 60 years in germany from 55211000 big chain and instore bakeries have taken their place often using ready mix dough with artificial additives fueling dumba uses only water flour and salts his recipe for sourdough is a secret the Lactic Acid Bacteria and easts add flavor through fermentation thats the big big difference the acidification is hansens the taste its a totally different kind theyre bred a different food. Done there go also owns a stationary bakery in the end but he never actually trained to be a baker for most 20 years he worked in the just sticks in australia switzerland and points in asia. He also met his wife in asia in 2015 they decided to open a bakery together. I was really really surprised how germans love great i was like wow if we do open the big feet then you know that its fine then this is a different lifestyle is something where we can both Work Together because in a previous job he was always he was separate we know so. Now this like you know wolf all of us can do it together as a team the great desert expedition vehicle accomplishes its mission its on the road in brandenburg for 70. 00 to 80. 00 days a year mostly at markets and festival season time seems to appreciate the fresh Bread Service as well only one of the almost no preservatives but rather fresh natural and regional ingredients thats the best thing you can do. With every foray into the bread does that flow when domenica comes closer to his goal good for a cooking. For many of us food is pleasure its a part of our culture and history but can you imagine food without water access to clean water is still a luxury in some indian cities when you go in south india for example is quickly drying up and with more and more people who are going to the city the demand for water has increased multi forward fortunately for bengal a group of water boarding us has been silently working on providing water security to the city one recharge well at a time. Every morning visits the tree outside his village. Its very special to him. The lake nearby that once knowledge that has just a cliche. And he keeps the tree alive because it provides shade to his late wife who is buried under. The sez i come every day to take care of this place. Where the tree almost died 20 years ago and i come every day to water it back i collect 20 buckets from the lake so my wife can rest in peace. And murdered no one looks after more than just me. I am belongs to the money over the community of well diggers. They live on the outskirts of Bangalore City and have traditionally provided people with access to water in recent years this entire region has seen a dramatic drop in water levels. And the demand for welding has seen a corresponding decline. More than very says around 15 years ago there was a lot of work for us but these days theres very little of no one wants wells now they bore with machines that go deep into the ground and the demand for our services has fallen what kind of an. Open roads like this one once served as bangles main source of water. As the city developed it began to bring water into pipes from the river cavity but the supply is insufficient. To make up for the shortfall people began extracting water from aquifers underground with mechanized pumps. Moreover the booming city is increasingly covered in concrete. Rain water can no longer seep in and replenish the ground. The stress is immense. Bangalore is predicted to become unlivable by 2025. And signs of this crisis are everywhere. What export. Believes of the money over the community and the city can come together to help one another. He started a project to build a 1000000 vici that use the communitys skills but this time to dig wells that put water back into the ground rather than extract it. What every child will does is it picks rain water from the rooftop traditionally or from strong water great food water and push it into bangalore has been to. Find solutions to problems one of the solutions which is. Very good for the fog logical security the quicker we get these 1000000. Been flooding we have. The charge we have in the supplemental what we have for the city would be in a solution space which would provide comfort to the city. People who like the idea have begun to high Odama Krishna and his team need to build recharge wells in their homes or complexes. To gather the money for those 1st dig a pit that is 20 feet deep and line it with forests and mentoring. This will eventually fill up which mean water asafa sit on off which will percolate into the ground. The entire Community Benefits as the ground water is eventually shared by the city. He says of the charge wells of the link between green and the ground water ground water we love our work and no matter how tough it is all we want to do is build wells but i only feel satisfied when the job is done on some of the. Ones. I was walking in bangalore the owner of the complex gave me a bit of water. I was about to waste what i didnt need when he stopped me and asked me whether i knew the value of water Going Forward thats how we need to be and how to save water to get them especially rainwater that is the most precious. So far the money what does have dug 100000. 00 wells. They intend to dig 1000000. When the ground is really not wish. The day livelihoods be flattish once again.
