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 ready to bastar a noodle and a lot of coconut and draw mango rice and not just we met in bangor who before that is encouraging his community to tell unique project dont to the local and seasonal food. A typical traditional indian meat rice operated so with a variety of side dishes each made up of a number of ingredients. But as india has used so too has the weights people eat meals have become foster easier and much less diverse with many mediums even being flown in from around the world a study found that around a 3rd 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 garden the for old in the palace she grows through and vegetables. From limes introduced to tomatoes and ginger much of its native to india it fulfills almost all her needs. Its a cycle in the past from my kitchen goes to the tennis and. Come to the kitchen. To 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 to. See. Their 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 poor countries it encourages people to grow locally and seasonal foods that have slowly disappeared from their lives actually this didnt change but they knew going to begin but in this so people been made in the big season they would add 15 to 20 kind of greens in one county i would have 2 or 3 types which most of them are buying from the shops and our shops are selling what farmers are growing and farmers are growing what does seeds people are selling. Runs a Community Garden on the outskirts of bungalows in the village of. Holly it is filled with interesting crops that are hard to look at this is squashed ripe fruit used as a vegetable and cooking as a bottle of good we have to break open the spatio. The pressure is inside it is in the seeds. So you see it can be at least 10 because theres a high limit i think. It can be i dont like. It can feel like 23 families. As foods with a better taste and flip. Seeds top to produce more nutritious food and vegetables many edible plants grew 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 they cant go in for us and we want to leave the mission to go into the landscape is not clean anymore you see a lot of stray dogs 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 rural 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 story but wizarding kamar 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 very 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 create. 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 with and 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 know if the day 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 singing 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 a bit by bit i mean if we had to have almost one and a half hectares of land on which i have built a poly house and dug a pond or the work of the plastic sheeting to line the pond is yet to be completed im farming the remaining land open it could be getting. He is now back in his home village of out on cup 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 a look down no movement was allowed no public transport but somehow with great difficulty we managed to get back to our village. 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 in his native land what little you can i can whine about it 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 you came out im child or he is a key source of useful advice he has already helped 300 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 chic was fixed here a month and a half ago for soil solarization to control we 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 the 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 i doubt 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 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 many israel in my village has given me confidence to turn to farming i am now assured 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 surat because i will earn more here give me im sure it will be twice the amount i used to earn from all over the one a bit. For a red nursing by how much the kopechne 1000 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 becky and scratching in the countryside so wanted by wast 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 to stay. Is that its pretty emma its bossy. Trudy is feisty and mary lays an egg every day. The 4 hens have been guests at the home of felicity of burckhardt and craig or bengal are in the northern suburbs of berlin for a year now this is how it came to pass. As a capsule i know guns inside them moment and i was once stuck in a traffic jam to get some support and there was a livestock transporter in front of me. A fence to tack towards that got me thinking about what kind of lives animals leads on the net and if one could give at least a few really good life as they had to for most i wanted to get to know how chickens lived and he didnt and since we have a garden i thought theyd feel right at home here. And they would have plenty to eat and theyd also give us many us might have been doing funding. Their diet consists of grands 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. Hes not a scam dollar keep seeing scandals in the food industry. After the bad eggs animal stalls sprayed with toxins that end up in food that you would to god be my antibiotics and chicken pigs and cattle. Moving so well every time that happens people stop and think for a moment what are we doing what are we eating. Berlin is home to almost 4000000 people and the growing number of chickens some big city dwellers 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 this commitment to a small few or it sounds great to get fresh eggs from your own head on your 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 stance or in my view need food and 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. Family considers it educational. We wanted to show the children where food comes from 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 you know. Rented chicks started in the United States but its catching on in many parts. Of the ts smith also rents to kindergarten schools and old peoples homes. Emma trudy illness 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. Their foster parents actually do the deed. Is go. Into i dont think youll ever be able to slaughter a chicken 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 and it up with softies 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 great in fact job and even on to miss course intangible headed to actually step back and recent the franchise because have been growing that a few want in fewer traditional businesses that big. In some parts of the country that a whole community is traditional because but help is on its way and its called bread off expedition vehicle we join the will of the for the pandemic restrictions were put in place. And taken on then leave no. And his elite troops take heavy equipment into what they call the bread desert brand and their mission to supply this thinly populated region good decent great. Moment bakery situation brandenberg a serious more and more small craft businesses are closing down. That forces people to depend on discount retailers and i wouldnt say that theres discounters bread is all that good. Something had to be done that was almost like it was.

To try to help the swiss have 168 of these vehicles about one for every part of their army they were meant to supply the military in the field of course theyve never been used the army just exercised with them. In the early 2000 all these mobile bakeries were decommissioned and sold. And i got called up number 130. Space in the expedition vehicle has to be used optimally it has an eating machine a water tank and a gas and the rest is done by hand. You know scott has listed german bread culture as an intangible Cultural Heritage over 3000 varieties of baked on a daily basis but the bacon is a work fully independently have declined 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 and umberger uses only water flour and salt his recipe for sourdough.

With every foray into the bread does that float him down there comes closer to his goal good bread 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. In south india for example is quickly drying up and with more and more people moving to the city the demand for water has increased multi ford fortunately for a group of waterboarding us has been silently working on providing water security. To the city one recharge well at a time. Every morning visits a tree outside his village. Its very special to him. The lake nearby that ones not listed as 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 day care of this place where. The tree almost died 20 years ago and i come every day to water it but i collect 20 buckets from the lake so my wife can rest in peace. And no one looks after it more than just me. If. I am belongs to the money over that community of well because. 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. He says around 15 years ago there was a lot of work for us but these days as very little with 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 mess with it. All the roads like this one once served as bangles main source of water. As the city developed and began to bring water into pipes from the river kawiti 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 vision actually country i believe that 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 Community 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 good the rain water and push it into it. Has been trying to save you dollars find solutions to problems one of the solutions which is. Not going to get through the fog logical security the quicker we get these 1000000. Been flooding we have the motive groundwork of the charge we have and the more supplementary water we have for the city so well be in a solution space with humans but my comfort with the city here. 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 over 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 also office runoff which will percolate into the ground. The entire Community Benefits as the ground water is eventually shared by the city. He says recharge wells of the link between green and the ground water grown 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 them. Once when i was working in bangalore the owner of the complex gave me a bit of water when i was about to waste what i didnt need when he stopped me and asked me whether i knew the value of water and Going Forward thats how we need to be and really learn how to save water to get them. Especially rainwater that is the most precious in a while and it is the new. So far the money orders have dug 113000 wells. They intend to dig 1000000.
