We must preserve the seeds of old vegetables and fruit varieties.
Within 3 generationse we have forgotten how to plant vegetables or medicinal herbs. Rural activity did not fit into the modern age, it was considered backward,
far from the spirit of the times, from the respective fashions.
And now they are gone: the old fruit varieties, the variety of vegetables and berries...Biodiversity and Modernity was a way to differentiate past and future, North and South, progress and regress, radical and conservative.
However, at a time of deep ecological mutation, such a compass is running in wild circles without offering much bearing anymore.
This is why it is time for a reset. Let’s pause for a while, follow a procedure and search for different sensors that could allow us to
recalibrate our detectors, our instruments, to feel anew where we are and where we might wish to go.
And I wish my eye could turn into a magnifier glass

Water demand overwhelms its supply, and soon every individual who consumes the resource harms to others who can’t have it...How water influences economic growth?
Water is vital for food and energy production, the livelihoods of people, and economic growth. Diminishing water supplies can result in a lower growth rate and worsen
the economic prospects in a lot of countries and regions. Water security and economic growth are intertwined, the ‘ubiquitous nature’ of water means that its economic
role is hard to isolate. The unmanaged risks of water such as floods and droughts can not only cause chaos and financial losses in a particular region but also affect
businesses and the livelihoods of people in other places far away from the event itself. Investment in water security and improvement in effective water use is not only
a matter of protecting society from water-related risks but it is also an investment that supports economic growth and social well-being even when the risks don’t materialise.
