POST: ORA NR6 - the modern world is water
Italy, Europe, the "modern world" is an urban social and taking in water and not just metaphorically.
That in winter the climate is more hostile and unpredictable times is normal, we can not expect that the season is "moderate" because it would have some logistical problem less.
In these cases, the ordinary citizen, what to go to work you get out of bed, drink coffee, gets in his car and goes to the company, should the local mind on an issue he usually far: a farmer gets up and the first What it does is go out to look at how the time. According to the weather, is organized on how to tackle the day, but not all. Up to this point, still has a generic problem as many other workers who must contend with the climate, still doing their job.
The real problem occurs when it rains for days and days to the point where the water floods the countryside. Or when it does not rain for months and everything is dry and barren. If then there are the crops, then the damage is even greater and the factor will not be able to predict the loss.
In these cases we are the shock absorbers of the funds that address the workers of the earth, but they are insufficient. If we then associate with low income from the sale of products, it is easy to understand how little pay both the profession of farmer.
In my view there is also injustice in all this: the small producers have limited access, compared to large companies, these funds to "repair".
E 'pure inexplicable policy before national and now European Union, which provides money to farmers because they, in turn, leave the land fallow.
In short, it is wasting public money to pay for the unproductive and then you buy goods that could be grown in home kilometer zero, only in order of supranational agreements, which do not help European farmers, but allow to multinational food, to make the cartel at the expense of workers and consumers.
In a future post, I will address the issue of agricultural work, for now I'll stop on the above issues, to analyze the more immediate issues:
The situation of "distress" climate that is invading Italy, Europe, the entire industrialized world from north to south, if you notice, it is merely a problem of economic order. Flooded roads, airports where flights are suspended, ferries do not leave, tourists are not tourists and stay at home and so on. All this triggers costs, damages, loss of turnover and so on.
E 'in which the inherent contradiction of modern humanity, which has created a mechanism of survival is no longer connected to the ground to natural as it should be logical, although scientific capabilities and intellectual resources to do so. This, however, unprepared and spoke with a mental position of hostility towards something that can not tame at will: by inventing all sorts of devilry to stem a selfish choice that does not consider the territory. An area that is raped by an anthropocentric thought that rule out everything that is not "useful" to humans, especially in economic terms, as if we, miserable animals unfit for the planet, had the ability to understand what is and is not a priority and save this world.
Most of the problems we suffer in terms of damage to agricultural or urban, are due to a multitude of mistakes, abuse, man-made.
cemented water vent areas adjacent to rivers, growing massively products such as soy, corn, tobacco, etc., enter the air a huge amount of toxic gases, cut down trees because they are considered dangerous or obstacles to roundabouts, roads and buildings, are some elements that highlight our heavy responsibility. Let's stop drinking the folcloriostiche justifications hail the progress and the price which must inevitably pay. "Progress" is something that elevates the company and not the victim of the same make to enjoy of a good or a service. What is the logic to move forward with medicine, if we continue to produce new toxins that trigger new diseases? All this is dumb.
We are in front of a choice, a choice that does not give us more time to think. If we do not change our behavior individually, we can not save the earth from our arrogance.
What will we leave to future generations? A huge dustbin
useless if we do not change attitude.
