    Parlem dels horts: alimentar-nos tot l’any
    Speaking about gardens: feeding ourselves all year round
    October 19th - 19.00 H
    Videoconference
    Workshop, Online

    Virtual session offering advice and answering questions about the value of seasonality: food production and distribution models, urban garden planning, and strategies for preserving and extending the availability of products.
    Not sure what to do with all the tomatoes you pick from the garden in the summer? Wondering how come you can buy tomatoes from the market all year round? In this session, we will look at the calendar and highlight the seasonal nature of horticultural produce. We will analyse the models of production and distribution of products in the agri-food industry and, at the same time, learn how to make a good plan for starting seeds and planting in our gardens, while discovering strategies for conserving and extending the availability of the products we grow throughout the whole year.

    Seeds of Freedom (pel·lícula de Jess Phillimore, 2012)
    Seeds of Freedom (film by Jess Phillimore, 2012)
    October 19th - 22.00 H
    Betevé broadcasting
    Documentary film season

    Seeds of Freedom (Llavors de llibertat) charts the story of seed, from its roots at the heart of traditional, diversity-rich farming systems across the world, to its transformation into a powerful commodity, used to monopolise the global food system.

    The film explores the ways in which the industrial agricultural system, and genetically modified (GM) seeds in particular, have impacted upon the agro-biodiversity evolved by farmers and communities around the world over millennia.

    The film challenges the mantra that large-scale, industrial agriculture is the only means by which we can feed the world, promoted by the pro-GM lobby. In tracking the story of seed it becomes clear how the corporate agenda has driven the take over of seed in order to make vast profit and take control of the global food system.

    Lords of water (a documentary by Jerome Fritel, 2019)
    October 17th - 20.00 H
    Jardí dels Tarongers
    Screening

    After the gold and the oil rush, the time of the water rush has now dawned. In addition to the growing population and the spread of agriculture, problems such as environmental pollution and global warming are now being faced. The demand for water is skyrocketing all over the world. In 2050 at least one in four people will live in a country with chronic water shortages. Reason enough to arouse the greed of the financial giants, who are sounding the attack and investing billions of euros in this sector. Whether Goldman Sachs, HSBC, UBS, Allianz, Deutsche Bank or BNP: banks, investment funds and hedge funds are pouncing on everything that has to do with the blue gold.
    But can freshwater be considered a commodity on a par with oil, coal or wheat? Can we allow the players in these markets - banks and investment funds - to create financial instruments that enable them to bet on the value of water? Should this precious resource even be declared untouchable in order to protect it from the sharks of the financial world? From Australia to California and from New York to London, this investigative documentary tells of the current struggle between the advocates of the "financialisation" of water and the defenders of water as a human right. This head-on clash takes place in several fields: ideology, politics, environmental issues and, of course, the economy. And the fate of the almost 10 billion inhabitants of our planet depends not least on its outcome.

    Il mare piange (a documentary by Luca Cusani and Cafi Mohamud, 2006).
    October 21st - 22.00 H (variable according to betevé programming)
    Betevé broadcasting
    Documentary film season

    A confrontation between two civilisations and their ways of managing ocean resources: thanks to a multimillion-dollar agreement with the Senegalese government, every year, 500 European fishermen work in the waters off the coast of Senegal, equipped with the most advanced technologies. Every day, Senegalese fishermen go out to sea on fifteen thousand canoes to fish what is left from this unequal competition, equipped with knowledge of local currents and fishing grounds. The tragedy, however, is imminent: experts estimate that in a couple of decades there will be no fish left to fish.

    This activity is part of the Betevé documentary film series that includes the films Fermentación espontánea, Taste the waste, Food for change and Il mare piange.
